Thanks for your interest in the project and sorry for the late reply.

Do you mean the command-line tools or the library code?

For the command-line tools, try

dvr -h HOST time

replacing HOST with the hostname or IP address of your DVR. You can get a list of subcommands to try in addition to time by listing the files in the dvrip/cmd subfolder of the source code; currently the available commands are cat, discover, find, info, log, reboot, and time.

For using the code as a library, you can look at the source code for the command-line tools. It should be quite readable if you ignore the error handling. Here's an even simpler example to get you started:

from socket import AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, socket
from dvrip import DVRIP_PORT
from dvrip.io import DVRIPClient

HOST = ...          # FIXME replace with hostname of the DVR
USERNAME = 'admin'  # FIXME replace with actual credentials
PASSWORD = ''       # FIXME replace with actual credentials

sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)  # Create the socket we'll be using for communication
conn = DVRIPClient(sock)  # Create a client connection using that socket
conn.connect((HOST, DVRIP_PORT), USERNAME, PASSWORD)  # Connect and authenticate ourselves to the DVR
print(conn.time().isoformat())  # Print DVR date and time in ISO format
conn.logout()  # Deauthenticate
sock.close()  # Disconnect

Does this answer your question?
