If you use the slide show you will see some articles can appear more than once. I had this yesterday and today it was the shooting in southern Florida.

I might PR a mechanism to check this.

On June 11, Google is changing their API to have new pricing and be integrated in Google Cloud API.
You get $200 in free credit per month, which can give us 40,000 geocoding calls (every thousand requests after that are $5 each). I checked out Datadog dashboard and we have used 66K locations in the past month. That means we'd have to pay over $100 for the rest of the 26K requests which I'm not paying for. That's disappointing.

Either I can make a dictionary of the most common locations so we don't have to geocode them (Chicago, Paris, Sydney, etc.) or use a different API. (For Google Maps API you will now have to set up billing and I'd have to get my dad to pay it since I don't have a credit card, and he wouldn't be happy if the bill is high.)

For the Associated Press, here's the locations not requiring a state or country. I think we can make all these locations be in a local dictionary so we don't have to geocode them, that would save a lot of requests.

I took a quick look at alternative APIs and looked at geopy's documentation, here's some quick looks at APIs:

• OpenStreetMap Nominatim - @spotlightishere recommended this, but you can only make one request per second. I'm not interested in it for that reason since it'd slow down the script.
• Yahoo BOSS - I don't think this is still up, but I don't like Yahoo in general so I don't want to use it
• There's other APIs I didn't look out, but they don't seem to support multiple languages.
• Bing API - The prices aren't public for this one, but they support multiple languages and looks pretty good. Hopefully this one can be used.

Steps to Reproduce :

• Go to the Wii Menu, and start the Forecast Channel.
• Go to the Globe.
• Find Kansas City, and zoom in all the way to be able to point at both of them.

If your Wii is set to Canada right now and you access the News Channel, you will see US national news. I want to fix that and put national news from a news agency like the Canadian Press in there so the Canada News Channel will have some Canadian news.

I am trying to run a code for forecast channel and it requires weather.db. What is this file and how can I get it?

Holy moly this website (git) is a chore to use. I hope someone sees this. I am getting weather00006 error for riiconnect 24, I cant report the bug on discord due to your draconian anti privacy and anti trust nintendo ninja thwarting net. I have tried installing several times. Uncertain what to do next. Only weather doesn't work.

FORE06 occurs on Japanese Forecast Channel due to lack of finished support.

Japanese Forecast dumps (forecast.bin and short.bin) would be the best help to ensure we get it working. (we have those already)

Short Description of Issue:
Several cities on the Globe show the sun icon during the 12am-6am and 6pm-12pm sections.

Long Issue:
The short description, plus this: I assume it's probably happening because the "Cold" condition uses the sun icon, but doesn't have day/night versions (as it says here). I first noticed this while checking several Southern cities during the snowstorm...

...and I also found this in other northern locations several days afterward.

Steps to Reproduce :

• Go to the Wii Menu, and start the Forecast Channel.
• Check the globe, browse around for any cities where the weather is "Cold", or might be cold.
• When clicking on the Today/Tomorrow icon, there might be a sun in the 1st or 4th quarters.

Short Description of Issue: generator doesnt generate files for the nintendo channel

Long Issue: when trying to generate the files for the nintendo channel it complains that there is no ninfile2 file

Steps to Reproduce :

• download the files of the generator
• install the requirements
• do python -m Channels.Nintendo_Channel.ninfile2 with python 3.10

Basically, there's an error with the News Channel where an extra offset/size is present for something I can't exactly pinpoint, and it screws up all the articles for that file. Pictures and locations are fine, however.

People have bothered me on Discord about it.

Hopefully @V0idSt4r can help debug it.

Short Description of Issue:
I have no clue how to make the coordinates for forecastlists.py.

Long Issue:
The instructions provided in the README.md for the Forecast Channel folder are vague for the coordinates step. I want to make a pull request to add a city, but:

1. I don't know how to convert decimal coordinates into the tiny jumbles of characters in the dictionaries. For example, for Mumbai, how did a 19.0760 latitude and 72.8777 longitude turn into "0d7e33c9" ???
2. Trying to use the provided Python function brought up errors, all pointing to line 2 with value = int(value,16). I tried doing coord_decode(19.0760), and it complained that it was not a string. Then I tried coord_decode("19.0760"), and it complained that it was invalid for something with base 16.

Steps to Reproduce (for the Python snippet):

• Go to https://www.w3schools.com/python/trypython.asp?filename=demo_default
• Replace the code with:

def coord_decode(value):
    value = int(value,16)
    if value >= 0x8000: value -= 0x10000
    return value*0.0054931640625

coord_decode("19.0760")

• Press Run, and have a confused reaction :(

I think we need to rewrite RSA Signer to use pycryptodome for AES encryption, and make the argument parts better. It feels kind of hacky in its current state.

@V0idSt4r do you want to work on this?

It’d be nice if there was a Russian news source.

Main problem would likely be finding something not too biased.

Short Description of Issue:
The 6-hourly weather icons for the Forecast Channel show the sun and moon for the wrong times.

Long Issue:
The short description, plus these details: the sun in the 12am-6am section, a time period when the sun is mostly not up; and the moon is in 12pm-6pm section, a time period when the moon is definitely not up, or at least when the sun is up and the moon isn't as visible. It's a little unintuitive when you're glancing at the forecast. Hopefully it'll be a small fix.

Here's a pic of what I mean:

Steps to Reproduce :

• Go to the Forecast Channel from the Wii Menu
• Go to the Globe, and find a city with totally clear weather for a whole day.
• Click on the Today/Tomorrow weather icon, and you'll see something like the above pic.

Short Description of Issue:
These are two things with the current Forecast Channel setup that make it inaccurate compared to footage from before the shutdown, those being that 1) data for past hours is shown and 2) the 6-hourly intervals for Japanese cities show two icons instead of one.

Long Issue:
Note that my input here will be of dubious authenticity because I'm basing this off videos and not actual experience, so you may take this with a grain of salt.
Here are the two issues:

1. Data for past hours
   In the video I have linked below, numbers for the chance of rain "Today" are replaced by dashes for the current 6-hour quarter and the previous ones.

2. Japanese weather icons
   Based on a lot of research to feed my addiction for the Forecast Channel, I have an idea of what the weather icons are for. One major thing that I found is that for hourly weather, only one icon is used, not two.
   Instead of this:
   
   It's just this:

1. if there's generally only one type of weather throughout the day, or for the hourly weather, only one icon is used, and it's called just "clear/cloudy/rainy/snowy/stormy"
2. if one type is predominant but the day occasionally includes a secondary type, then two are used, with the primary one being the upper one, and it's called "-- with some --"
3. if there are two types of weather, with one at the start of the day and the other at the end, then the combination with the arrow at the bottom is used, and it's called "-- into --"

This is also evident on the Weathernews site: http://weathernews.jp/onebox/40.714270/-74.005970/. Since RC24 uses AccuWeather as a source and because I'm not Japanese, I'm not too worried about the icons being used correctly, but it might be important to consider.

Here is the video I used for reference:
https://youtu.be/KRnLPHXUc_A

Steps to Reproduce :

• Go to the Forecast Channel from the Wii Menu, then go to the Globe
• Click on any city, and there are icons for 6-hourly intervals that might be in the past
• Click on any Japanese city, and you might find the combination icon in a 6-hourly interval

AwesomeMarioFan has made a fancy progress bar that displays when downloading forecast data for the Forecast Channel, and I want to add that to the News Channel.

This problem started approx. month ago. Whenever I click to submit votes, it gives me this error. I searched it and it said that its HTML error "Not found". I tried to message everybody, but nobody responded. BTW, my Wii is set to Poland, if that helps.

Error Code 107006 has been happening way way way too much on US News Channel! It keeps coming back or just won’t fix! A way to balance out the News on the US News Channel would be greatly appreciated!

The Everybody Votes Channel script is a mess and it's pretty hacky (but it at least gets the job done). It needs a massive cleanup. I noticed that it's still reading from a config.py file instead of config.json today...

I assigned Void and AMF to this issue if they want to help.

It's literally insane. You don't need to slide show to see that it's like twice as large as the international news. A cap could be used to check for this stuff.

Short Description of Issue:
Worldwide "Awaiting Results" error.
Long Issue:
Basically i went onto Everybody Votes Channel and went to results and i wasn't able to click on Worldwide results. it just said Awaiting Results and the answers wouldn't even show up.
Steps to Reproduce :

• Go to the "Everybody Votes Channel"
• Go to "Results"
• Look at "Worldwide Results"

While @larsenv and @AwesomeMarioFan 's work on the current API is nothing short of amazing, it's never bad to have diversification, and such perhaps we should add in more API support for usage incase the current API we're using shuts down or they get pissy at us.

Find other APIs to potentially use

Currently, Reuters EU is used for Australian news. This is a problem as Reuters rarely report on Australian news.

Steps to Reproduce :

• Take a look at Australia on the News Channel and take a look at how little news articles there is.
