Please note after installing the filter:

//It is not essential but advised to turn the Text Cache lifetime off, or to 30 seconds in:
"Site Administration->Plugins->Filters->Common Filter Settings"//

And after installing PoodLL Database Activity Field:

//At the time of writing, Moodle doesn't completely handle language strings for 3rd party database fields well. So you should add these stings to the bottom of [site_root]/mod/data/lang/en/data.php
//
<code>
$string['poodll'] = 'PoodLL';
$string['namepoodll'] = 'PoodLL';
</code>
===== ffmpeg issue =====
In the filter plugin versions prior to 2014111601, there is a problem with converting some file types to mp3 (through ffmpeg). See this discussion: [[https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=271759|ffmpeg issue]].

To solve the issue, download the plugin from github: [[https://github.com/justinhunt/moodle-filter_poodll|moodle-filter_poodll]].

===== Sound Quality =====

To prevent any sound quality issues, set the mic rate to 44 for the Poodll MP3 recorder (Site administration > Plugins > Filters > PoodLL Filter).

===== Video Recording through Flash =====
If you're using Flash (instead of html5) for the video recorder, everything's processed by Poodll's public Red5 server. You must have a Red5 server specified in the Poodll filter settings, or else your Flash-based video recording will NOT work.

The default Red5 server is tokyo.poodll.com. It works, but it's slow in Europe.

==== Issue with MP4 ====

I couldn't get the Poodll assignment and Poodll quiz question to work properly if the setting ''Auto Conv. to MP4'' (under Audio/Video File Conversion Settings) was enabled. By default, this setting is not enabled. Leave it that way!
