Looking for help with a small script (Lua)

[Sonorityscape]

I'm trying get the count of media items (which I believe are the same as takes), however when I run this script I get a bad argument # 1 saying that the 'TakeFX_GetCount' function is expecting a "MediaItem_Take'. I thought my variable covered that and I swear it was working before. I'm wondering if I'm missing something here? I've made sure that I have the items selected before I run the script. See below.

-------------------------------------------------

count_sel_items = reaper.CountSelectedMediaItems(0)

for i = 0, count_sel_items - 1 do

(indent)media_item = reaper.GetSelectedMediaItem(0, i)
(indent)reaper.TakeFX_GetCount(media_item)

end

A media item (MediaItem*) contains one or more takes (MediaItem_Take*).

for ii=0, reaper.CountSelectedMediaItems(0)-1 do
  local item = reaper.GetSelectedMediaItem(0, ii)

  -- go through all takes
  for ti=0, reaper.CountTakes(item)-1 do
    local take = reaper.GetMediaItemTake(item, ti)
    reaper.TakeFX_GetCount(take)
  end

  -- or just the current take
  local take = reaper.GetActiveTake(item)
  reaper.TakeFX_GetCount(take)
end

Thank you!
