Yes, RiiConnect24 already said this on their twitter, on a medium.com post and here on GBATemp.

None of those links state they'll restore the service...

Only they are downloading all the HTML from the Wii Shop Channel to preserve them for future generations and use them after closing.

Something to dump the entire server to restore it when it closes on January 31, 2019.

We don't plan to restore the Wii Shop Channel at all. However, there is an open-source project called the Open Shop Channel that plans to repurpose the channel as a Homebrew database, like the Homebrew Browser. It's still heavily WIP though.

"We"? :eyes:

Anyway, yeah, OSC is the way to go. Also, Larsenv hosts a repository called MarioCube of all the preserved Wii Shop assets as well as other peculiarities, so really nothing has been lost.. at all

Someone revived the YouTube Channel, made a WAD through a URL that uses the Internet Channel and redirects to the YouTube page for web browsers.

The video about this was made on June 30, 2017, after the closure of YouTube Channel for Wii.

Is it true that the YouTube page works on the Internet Channel?

Precisely. Didn't know you did any development work - are you speaking as someone who's actually clued in on dev there or are you just speaking as an admin?

I'm just speaking as an admin
I haven't done any dev work (yet(?)), but I'm fairly certain the devs have no intention of reviving the Wii Shop Channel.

We aren't reviving it when the Open Shop Channel is a thing.

I know this is probably a dead post but... There is a way to revivie youtube (I think)


(sorry I had to post it as a .txt file, gbatemp doesn't let me post links as Im a new member)

Spoiler: The Image mentioned in the txt file...

In the code:

debug_content_url     file:///trusted/wii_dev_shim.swf

# Debug settings
#  load from web-trunk-qa:
debug_flash_vars    dev=1&app=file://trusted/remote/https://web-trunk-qa.youtube.com/wiitv
#  load from web-release-qa:
#debug_flash_vars    dev=1&app=file://trusted/remote/https://web-release-qa.youtube.com/wiitv
#  load from horcrux (no-auto-build):
#debug_flash_vars    dev=1&relax=1&app=file://trusted/remote/http://horcrux.sbo.corp.google.com/wii/leanbacklite_wii.swf&urlmap=s.ytimg.com/yts/swfbin/apiplayer%3Dhttp://horcrux.sbo.corp.google.com/wii/apiplayer.swf%3Bs.ytimg.com/yts/swfbin/vast_ads_module%3Dhttp://horcrux.sbo.corp.google.com/wii/vast_ads_module.swf
#  load from prod:
#debug_flash_vars    dev=1
#  load from prod/Charles-ready:
#debug_flash_vars    dev=1&relax=6

It redirects all wii users to: https://youtube.com/wiitv
When the link is pasted it downloads a swf file (lbl_end_of_life_854x480-vflVs1cbp.swf) that when opened looks like this:

Spoiler: img

Instead of redirecting users to https://youtube.com/wiitv someone could make a program that changes it to https://youtube.com/tv (similarly to what riiconect does with your wii email, changing it from @nintendo.com to their own servers)

Unlikely. They behave differently.
