This is my attempt to make Elisa Viihde FUSE. It may be quite stupid in some places because the Elisa Viihde API is not designed for this kind of use.

This uses elisaviihde.py from enyone/elisaviihde branch pre-1.5. Download it and put that somewhere in your python path. Requests is required as a dependency.

This also needs fusepy, which can be installed with pip. Remember to use pip3 because I don't support python2.

Main goals:

• Allow listing recordings (works!)
• Allow opening and reading the files to watch videos and copy them to local drives (some files work, but downloading is slow and makes a lot of requests!)
• Resrict other users from touching the files if wanted (mount time option)

Other niche features:

• Moving files between directories
• Allow deleting recordings, user should be able to disable this

Elisa Viihde API is not very friendly for this kind of operation. Maybe the greatest problem of all is that it doesn't expose file sizes but only recording lengths. That can't be used for file size (it might be possible to use that for estimating file size). Instead I must make a HEAD request for every getattr request for programs.

Currently downloading files (only older recordings work) takes a lot of requests and it is very slow. Even listing files is quite slow and takes many seconds even for a small-ish directory.

A minor problem with the API is that there are no timestamps for folders and currently I'm just ignoring them and using zero. That is probably the best way to handle that for now.
