Description
Hi
Thanks for the amazing repository. I am trying to read video frames but I couldn't figure out how to pass the start and end frame directly into the fn.readers.video
In the docs, I see examples using reading from a file using the file_list argument, but I was wondering if there was any direct way to pass it to the reader.
For context, I am trying to read kinetics dataset using DALI, but I would need different start and end times at every epoch. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start with the fn.readers.video API and its file_list documentation, then determine whether start and end frame or time inputs can vary per epoch. Done would require a documented supported approach or a clearly scoped API change for per-epoch video ranges.
