Can Not read installed dataset in dataset.load(.)
MEMBER
You can download the dataset locally using [huggingface_hub.snapshot_download](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/v0.34.3/en/package_reference/file_download#huggingface_hub.snapshot_download) and then do

```python
dataset = load_dataset(local_directory_path)
```

It's good suggestion, but my server env is network restriction. It can not directly fetch data from huggingface. I spent lot of time to download and transfer it to the server.
So, I attempt to make load_dataset connect to my local dataset.

Hi, folks, I'm newbie in huggingface dataset api.
As title, i'm facing the issue that the dataset.load api can not connect to the installed dataset.

data path : 
"/xxx/joseph/llava_ds/vlm_ds"
it contains all video clips i want!
<img width="1398" height="261" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bf213b66-e344-4311-97e7-bc209677ae77" />

i run the py script by

But bad happended, even i provide dataset path by "HF_HUB_CACHE", it still attempt to download data from remote side : 

<img width="1697" height="813" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/baa6cff1-a724-4710-a8c4-4805459deffb" />

Any suggestion will be appreciated!!
