Minimal steps to reproduce

Where customers have static video files that are recorded on additional equipment, it is hard to convert these files over to a stream. If we could inject this video with out having to convert it over to RTSP stream and just replay the video for inferencing it would help out with these types of deployments. Customer are looking to play back video files (AVI, MKV, MPEG4) as well as static images (JPG, PNG, etc)

Any log messages given by the failure
