[SOLVED] Unable to Save Data to HDF5 File using fsspec in Python

I'm trying to save data (3D numpy array) to an HDF5 file using fsspec in Python, but I'm encountering issues and I am unable to successfully write the data to the file. The bigger picture is I am trying to amend this dataset class to load/write video data. Is it possible to use h5py and fsspec in simultaneously or is it even advised?

The root issue seems to be this spec. But can I work around it or am I doing something wrong?

My first idea was to save the data as follows:

import numpy as np
import fsspec
import h5py


data = np.random.rand(100, 100)

with fsspec.open("./file", mode="wb") as fs_file:
    with h5py.File(fs_file, mode="w") as h5_file:
        h5_file.create_dataset("video", data=data)

My second idea was to first get the binary representation of the h5 file through an in-memory file but something is wrong and I am unsure if I can get a binary representation via h5py:

import h5py
import numpy as np
import fsspec

dataset = np.random.rand(100, 100)

# Create an in-memory HDF5 file
with h5py.File("in_memory_file.h5", driver="core", backing_store=False, mode='w') as h5file:
    # Create the dataset within the in-memory file
    h5file.create_dataset("video", data=dataset)

    # Save the binary representation to a file
    with fsspec.open("binary_representation.h5", "wb") as file:
        file.write(h5file.id.get_file_image())
    
    h5file.close()
    
# Now try to open the saved binary file
with h5py.File("binary_representation.h5", "r") as h5file:
    dataset = h5file["video"]

    # Perform any desired operations with the dataset

OSError: Unable to open file (bad object header version number)

Currently I have it implemented as:

with fsspec.open(save_path, mode='wb') as fs_file:
    h5_file = h5py.File(fs_file, mode="w")
    h5_file.create_dataset("video", data=data)

which works (kind of) but gives me an ignored error every time, which I am very unsure about:

ValueError: truncate of closed file
Exception ignored in: 'h5py._objects.ObjectID.__dealloc__'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "h5py/_objects.pyx", line 201, in h5py._objects.ObjectID.__dealloc__
  File "h5py/h5fd.pyx", line 180, in h5py.h5fd.H5FD_fileobj_truncate
ValueError: truncate of closed file

I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue and successfully save the data. Is there an alternative approach or additional steps I need to take to ensure the data is written correctly?

Thank you in advance for your help!
