Hi, As you may know recent BlueZ versions (since 3.30) and the upcoming 4.x branch will use plugins for several different purposes, including local bluetooth services (e.g. audio, input, network, etc) which were previously implemented as separate processes. For the separate process case we had an API for starting and stopping services but currently there is no D-Bus methods planned to allow loading or unloading of plugins at runtime. Instead, there only is a configuration file (/etc/ bluetooth/main.conf added in 3.32) which can be used to specify which plugins should not be loaded when hcid starts. We were today debating with the developers whether it would be useful to have a D-Bus API for dynamically loading and unloading of installed plugins but couldn't really reach a consensus. Personally I have a "gut" feeling that these would be good to have but don't really have a really good use case for it. Marcel otoh doesn't feel a need for it and won't add the API without good use cases. So, we would like to hear any needs (with use cases) that people on this list might have for this feature.
