			            Hello, I started coding an experiment where participants will watch videos and write about their impressions. However, I don't seem to be able to play the videos. Using the code below, Inquisit returns:
  Could not locate element 'showvideo1' block 2 is unassigned.
  Checking some previous posts, I saw that one should define a 'video' element, then wrap it as a 'trial' before embedding it into 'blocks'. That is what I tried to achieve.
  I am guessing I'm making a trivial mistake but any help will be greatly appreciated. I've tried the code on Inquisit 7.0.3 on a Macbook M1 Max Mac OS 15.4.1, and both Inquisit 7.0.3 and 6.6.1 on an Intel Macpro Mac OS15.4.1 but in all cases got the same error.
  Thanks in advance, EN
