Description thndrshk2k 2019-03-03 18:39:05 UTC

When viewing short videos/GIFs within Digikam they tend to play quickly once and then go to a black preview window until you manually restart the animation.

I propose adding in a toggle to allow the user to toggle if the current video/animation they are viewing loops or if it ends after it is done it's current playthrough.

Note: The QtAV framework we use for playback has a repeat function for videos. But it can come to a brief dark phase and this may not look good when playing GIF files. This may also depend on the FFmpeg version used.
