Hi,

I think the question is how your HDF5 file is internally formatted. HDF5
has not many constraints an internal structure, so it leaves full freedom
to you, to store your datasets in different internal paths or names or ...
It can not know, for example, how multiple channels would be stored, if
you have that, or how your x/y/z dimensions are stored, if you have that.
All this is free to decide when writing the file, and no reader can know
it in advance.

So there is not really a "plain" HDF5 reader because it would need to
know at least something about your internal structure of the file.
If you have that, it should be trivial to adjust one of the existing
readers to read your files.

All the best,

    Mario
