PlaySK Piano Roll Reader Supports Scanned Images

PlaySK only supports scanned images and does not support video files.

In fact, it is technically entirely possible, and older versions of
the PlaySK supported mp4 and webcam input. Here is a video of an older
version playing a mp4 file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eB8_ckCA6GI 

There were some issues with the emulation quality compared to scanned
images, [and so] the video input is no longer supported. But I would
like to support it again someday.
