Get-MediaDuration

NAME Get-MediaDuration



SYNOPSIS

Query duration time and other properties from video or audio files using ffprobe command.





SYNTAX

Get-MediaDuration [[-Path] <String[]>] [[-Filter] <String>] [-Recurse] [-Total] [-Progress] [[-items] <Object[]>]

[<CommonParameters>]





DESCRIPTION

You can generate the item list with Get-ChildItem command and pipe it into

Get-MediaDuration cmdlet. The resulting output is a list of objects and

can be pipelined as well into Sort-Object, Where-Object, Measure-Object, etc.

Mind that Measure-Object requires an integer as an input property, so you'll

have to convert the Duration field of type TimeSpan, to milliseconds

(see examples section).
