Possible places in the slideshow where this option could be added.

SUMMARY
Feature Request: videos should loop instead of automatically advancing to the next slide in the slideshow view.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open an album with multiple videos and pictures
2. Open the slideshow view (F9 or click the slideshow button)
3. Allow a video to complete playing

OBSERVED RESULT
The slideshow immediately advances to the next slide

EXPECTED RESULT
In some cases, this behavior is perfectly fine and desirable. However, very often I actually want the video to stop or loop after it finishes playing. It would be awesome if this was a configurable option in the slideshow settings.

The playing time of your video is shorter than the set time for the slideshow progress?

This happens whether or not the video is shorter or longer than the slideshow progress time. For instance, if the video is 10s, and the slideshow set time is 5s, the video will finish playing at 10s and immediately advance to the next slide.

If the video is 2s, it will advance at 2s.
