title: Read only first frame from an MKV with Python
body: <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56972903/how-to-read-mkv-bytes-as-video/56977405#56977405">This answer</a> shows how to read MKV video using Python, but it appears to be reading/processing the entire video before the call to <code>imageio.get_reader</code> returns. Is there a way to parse just the first frame of the MKV using <code>imageio</code>? If not, how about another method?</p>
