Unable to initialize bit stream filter with fn.experimental.inputs.video

[runitao]

Version

1.42.0

Describe the bug.

I use fn.experimental.inputs.video to decode a video, it can't initialize bit stream filter. With fn.readers.video, while it can works.

the video sample file stream_filter_error.mp4

PS. I test master branch yet, the bug is still here.
