Download
Download from the Moodle plugins database.
Installation
There should be only one folder "poodll" expanded after you unzip the zip file. Place this folder into your moodle installation under the [site_root]/filter folder.
Then login to your site as admin and go to your Moodle site's top page. Moodle should then guide you through the installation or upgrade of the PoodLL filter. You can probably accept the defaults, scroll to the bottom of the page and press save.
Enabling the PoodLL Filter
To enable the PoodLL filter, from the Site Administration menu, choose
Plugins->Filters->Manage Filters.
In the list of filters you will see the PoodLL filter. Set it to “on.”
The PoodLL filter can display mp3/mp4/flv files. The default Multimedia Plugins filter can also do this. To minimize the chance of any conflict you should move the PoodLL filter higher in the list than the Multimedia plugins filter.
In pre 2.7 versions of Moodle, caching can affect audio/video playback reliability. You should turn off text filter caching: Go to:
Site Administration -> Plugins -> Filters ->Common Filter Settings
There set "Text Cache Lifetime" to "no"
