Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I am deploying the VoTT as a kubenet pod service running on a remote client site so that the data scientist can annotate the video remotely. All the videos have to stored locally (local to the data scientists at client site) on mounted file volume due to data privacy restriction, therefore no cloud.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to understand why the web version is not able to access local file system, it looks to me this is because of some security concern. Is there a way to enable this since we run all of our services on kubenet cluster and all data are restricted to stored on local storeage.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Of course, install the application locally will allow it to access the mounted local file system. However, I have bunch other pipelines to run before/after the annotation and have to deploy all the services remotely in kubenets cluster.

Additional context
Any workaround to allow load video from local file system is also welcome!
