The system cannot find the specified file

Sorry about this but I'm new to using Python for stuff. I recently installed ESRGAN and decided to also give this a go. I cannot seem to use this software since I get the following error:

PS C:\Users\Liamk\OneDrive\Documents\_Apps\Video Inference> python run.py ./models/3x_Video_TSSM_RRDB_80000_G.pth --input "./input/HaloTest.mp4" --output "./output/HaloTestUp.mp4"

The HaloTest.mp4 file is definitely in the correct folder.

I tried figuring out myself but as soon as it got to File "C:\Users\Liamk\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python39\site-packages\ffmpeg\_probe.py", line 20, I was in unknown territory.

I have Python 3.9.9 and installed all the listed libraries using pip.

I had the same thing, solved it by adding ffmpeg's bin folder to the Windows PATH variable. So at least in my case it was just looking ffmpeg. Basically when ffmpeg command responds on cmd, you should be good.
