Running TVAI FFMPEG in Powershell

[urix.lookin]

I tried to create a batch-processing PowerShell script.
But I stumbled upon a specific error:

Model not found: prob-4
Failed to configure output pad on Parsed_tvai_up_0

Googling things led me to this thread:

CLI not working in Windows Powershell

While the TVAI CLI is working in the command prompt (opening Command prompt from the UI), I cannot call ffmpeg with the tvai options when I launch windows Powershell and use the ffmpeg executable in TVAI directory. Win10, Intel ARC 380 No logs, but the message I get is e.g. [Parsed_tvai_up_0 @ 000001861C28DC80] Model not found: amq-13 Screenshot attached [Screenshot 2024-06-11 at 15.14.42]

A Topaz employee suggests to correctly sen environment variables, linking to 404 documentation:
https://docs.topazlabs.com/video-ai/advanced-functions-in-topaz-video-ai/command-line-interface

Using archive.org I got a last snapshot of it:

I’ve set up environment variables in my system and the FFMPEG executing from command-line works perfectly.

But it’s never mentioned in documentation that the FFMPEG executed from PowerShell can not read environment variables.

So if you write PowerShell script, you’ll have to add at these lines before executing FFMPEG:

$env:TVAI_MODEL_DATA_DIR="c:\ProgramData\Topaz Labs LLC\Topaz Video AI\models"
$env:TVAI_MODEL_DIR="c:\ProgramData\Topaz Labs LLC\Topaz Video AI\models"

Has anyone managed to launch SL mini via powershell?

I’m no help. This is exactly what happens on every program I try to run in PowerShell that isn’t exclusively a PowerShell command.
