Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, Coil only supports decoding video frames from local sources (files or local URIs).
Describe the solution you'd like
Coil should support decoding video frames from a URL.
Additional context
This is something that I'd really like to add! Unfortunately, the API Coil uses to decode video frames, MediaMetadataRetriever, has limitations
around using a network-backed Source and works much better with a File. A Coil Decoder intentionally has no knowledge of Files to allow the source of an image to be completely decoupled from decoding logic.
