subprocess "TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'"

I'm using this code from a previously asked question a few years ago, however, I believe this is outdated. Trying to run the code, I receive the error above. I'm still a novice in Python, so I could not get much clarification from similar questions. Does anyone know why this is happening?

import subprocess

def getLength(filename):
  result = subprocess.Popen(["ffprobe", filename],
    stdout = subprocess.PIPE, stderr = subprocess.STDOUT)
  return [x for x in result.stdout.readlines() if "Duration" in x]

print(getLength('bell.mp4'))

Traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "B:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\test3.py", line 7, in <module>
    print(getLength('bell.mp4'))
  File "B:\Program Files\ffmpeg\bin\test3.py", line 6, in getLength
    return [x for x in result.stdout.readlines() if "Duration" in x]
