Hello,
Tried to use the get-files.py example, and it threw a 400 Client Error:

You might want to try using Channel 1 (add ",1" to the file_find function).

I've made some changes to media.py to get it working on my IP5M-B1186EW as there are some other issues against the latest API documentation, namely

• action=factory.close should be action=close
• action=factory.destroy should be action=destroy.
• default channel should by 1(?)

@tchellomello,
Not sure how the changes apply to backward compatibility. Do you want me to issue a PR for review?

@wizmo2 , changing to action=close and action=destroy resolved the issue for me.
Can you make a PR for that? (Or I can do it)

What is weird, I definitely remember that factory.close and factory.destroy worked for me (~2 years ago).
But not now. I am not sure what changed (my Amcrest camera is still the same).

Does it make sense to do:

try:
        ret = self.command(
            f"mediaFileFind.cgi?action=close&object={factory_id}"
        )
except:
        ret = self.command(
            f"mediaFileFind.cgi?action=factory.close&object={factory_id}"
        )

?

@maximvelichko, This was I while ago that I looked at this. It would take me a while to go back and see what I did, so go ahead with your own PR.
