Now that Himawari 9 has taken over from Himawari 8, Those of you who are getting Himawari IR, VS, and WV relayed via GOES 17/18, may notice that the satellite is still showing as Himawari-8. This is because goestools only has one handler for Himawari, and that is Himawari-8. In discussions I had with the NOAA HRIT Manager and PDA analysts, it was decided to keep the same VCID (60), the same Product ID (43) and sub product ID (1/3/7). This means that the 'new' Himawari-9 has been flowing just as it had from Himawari-8.
There is a simple fix to get you data to show the correct satellite.
Replace the Himawari Handler in you goesproc-goesrecv.conf file with this one:
# Images relayed from Himawari-9 After Dec 13th 2022.
[[handler]]
type = "image"
origin = "himawari8"
directory = "./himawari9/{region:short|lower}/{time:%Y-%m-%d}"
filename = "Himawari9_{region:short}_{channel:short}_{time:%Y%m%dT%H%M%SZ}"
format = "jpg"
json = false
[[handler.map]]
path = "/usr/share/goestools/ne/ne_50m_admin_0_countries_lakes.json"
[[handler.map]]
path = "/usr/share/goestools/ne/ne_50m_admin_1_states_provinces_lakes.json"
Leave "origin = "himawari8"" do not change it to Himawari9 as there is no handler in goestools named :himawari9"
reboot and your imagery for Himawari will show correctly as Himawari-9
