Command line sensor - Count files

Configuration
1

Hi, I use Home Assistant on docker on Ubuntu 20 with motioneye for record clip video in a folder.
I mapped this folder with a mount in home assistant and I create a command line sensor for count video file in this folder. This work.
The best would be to count only the files of the current day, but the sensor not work.
This is in my sensor.yaml

  - platform: command_line
    name: rec_terrazzo
    command: "ls -l /share/nvr/Terrazzo/*.mp4 | wc -l"

  - platform: command_line
    name: rec_terrazzo_today
    command: "ls -l --time-style=+%D /share/nvr/Terrazzo/*.mp4 | grep $(date +%D) | wc -l"

The code if entered in the terminal gives the correct result

sudo ls -l /usr/share/hassio/share/nvr/Terrazzo/*.mp4 | wc -l
sudo ls -l --time-style=+%D /usr/share/hassio/share/nvr/Terrazzo/*.mp4 | grep $(date +%D) | wc -l

You have to test your command inside the container

$ docker exec -it ha-test /bin/bash

bash-5.1# ls -l --time-style=+%D . | grep $(date +%D) | wc -l
ls: unrecognized option: time-style=+%D

Usage: ls [-1AaCxdLHRFplinshrSXvctu] [-w WIDTH] [FILE]...

Thanks,
maybe the --full-time parameter might be the right one.
But do you know how it should be set up? the date should be that of the current day

4 
$ ls -l --full-time | grep  $(date +%Y-%m-%d) | wc -l
