        Here the tree structure which you must have for your site:
        - assets (directory)
        |- cache (directory)
        |- docs (directory)
        ...
        |- snippets (directory)
        |- ditto (directory)
        |- eform (directory)
        ...
        |- simplevideoshow (directory)
        |- lang (directory)
        simplevideoshow.class.php (file)
        simplevideoshow.inc.php (file)
        ...


        Is it correct for you?

        For the moment I don’t understand why you do not obtain anything. For the videos .avi the snippet is correct. I did not have to go up error until now.

        Which is the problem which you encounters? Did you succeed in installing another snippet not provided with the MODx package?

          the structure is correct, i also installed a comments snippet which works fine and im making an image gallery snippet (not completely finished yet) - which also works.

          i dont really understand why i dont get any output - there is not even a change in the source code =/

            Strange indeed. I return to my starting idea. The call of the snippet is not interpreted by the parser of MODx. Are the names of the snippet and the call quite identical? Can you make a copy/past on the name?

            In the snippet code, can you check the presence of ’<? php .... ?>’, please?
            In version 0.9.2 of MODx they should not be present. From the 0.9.5, they must be present

              yeeey =P

              i get this code now:
              			<!-- Internet Explorer Users -->

			<object id="player_IE" 
		type="video/x-msvideo" 
						
				width="400" height="340"
				standby="In process..."
				>
				<param name="url" value="http://chaoticclips.com/assets/media/test.avi" />
				<param name="src" value="http://chaoticclips.com/assets/media/test.avi" />
		<param name="showcontrols" value="true" /><param name="autostart" value="true" /><param name="controller" value="true" /><param name="volume" value="75%" /><param name="transparentatstart" value="true" /><param name="AutoSize" value="true" />

              but here comes the next problem - what plugin do i need?? can i set a default one which every browser has?
              mozilla has a yellow bar at the top (page is white), telling me that i need a plugin - plugin name: unknown

              yet in IE it shows a windows media window - it starts after a while but it wont show the actual content of the video =/

                    I think there is a very small problem with SimpleVideoShow. Seemingly it does not pass w3 org css validation.

                    see: http://www.waso.com/testfilm.html
