Originally created by @hbeni on GitHub (Mar 19, 2025).

Context

Plugins / Configuration of plugins trough standard means and mumble client.

Description

It would be cool to have some built in config mechanism for plugins:

The plugin announces what config options are supported (text input fields, dropdowns, checkboxes)
Mumble
- uses that information to present a standardized dialog for the plugin's settings
- handles the storage and settings of plugins in a plugin agnostic manner
PluginAPI exposes functions to read the plugin's configs from mumbles store

Currently I use ini files to let the user setup their preferences, which is technically not so easy for most users.

Mumble component

Client

OS-specific?

Additional information

FGCOM-Mumble issue waiting for this here: https://github.com/hbeni/fgcom-mumble/issues/47

Yeah, this has been on my wish list pretty much ever since I worked on the plugin framework :D
Unfortunately, this will require quite some work, which is why I haven't gotten around to it yet...

In Case this gets added - can it be done in a way, that new plugin versions supporting configurability are still compatible with pre-plugin-configureable mumble versions?

Yeah, I would imagine this to work similar to other parts of the plugin API. That is, it gets used if Mumble knows about it and the plugin provides the necessary callbacks. Otherwise, the functionality just won't be there.

Ok, just so I understand:
I can compile a plugin against plugin-api Version n; and a mumble client that just knows about n-1 can load and use that plugin?

Yes. See for example
github.com/mumble-voip/mumble@d114c08add/src/mumble/Plugin.cpp (L183-L188)
for how this is handled.
