get-bitrate powershell function

gistfile1.txt

function get-bitrate( $file) {
  $shell = New-Object -ComObject Shell.Application
  $dir = $shell.NameSpace($file.Directory.FullName)
  $fileObj = $dir.parseName($file.Name)
  
  $bitrateAttribute = 0
  for( $index = 5; -not $bitrateAttribute; ++$index ) {
    $name = $directoryObject.GetDetailsOf( $dir.Items, $index )
    if( $name -eq 'Bit rate' ) { $bitrateAttribute = $index }
  }
  
  $dir.GetDetailsOf( $fileObj, $bitrateAttribute )
}

Line 8 required a change for this to work. Additionally, the file parameter required a Get-ChildItem call

Line 8 change from:

  $name = $directoryObject.GetDetailsOf( $dir.Items, $index )

Line 8 changed to:

  $name = $dir.GetDetailsOf( $dir.Items, $index )
