Feature Request

The fci_l1c_fdhsi reader should provide the platform_name in the attributes.

I guess it is in the netcdf files like MTG-I1 or something.

Then later when we know the Meteosat number (eg Meteosat-12) we can add a mapping.

Thanks for reporting this.

the spacecraft IDs in the filenames are:
MTI1 -> MTG-I 1, same convention shall be used for the follow-up missions (MTI2, MTI2, MTI4)
similarly for sounder missions, the IDs are/will be MTS1, MTS2

OK. I suggest we use the spacecraft ID as platform_name until each platform are given a Meteosat name. Then we can add some translation.
platform_name_translate={}
platform_name = platform_name_translate.get(space_craft_id, space_craft_id)

When a spacecraft get a meteosat name:
platform_name_translate={'MTI1': 'Meteosat-12'}
etc

a quick clarification after reading the format specs, the spacecraftID will also be available as a global attribute in the files, no need to rely on the filename only.
