Does anyone know of any filters or a way in Kodi that could playback animated gifs and loop until the user presses stop?

Right now I can get the gif to load and set the video player to repeat, but there will be a delay in the loop, and the gif has to be completely reloaded.

I guess not even just for gifs, just a way to loop a video without reloading it

I don't GIFs are a supported format.

DS or DVD player will play them fine, but the allure of them is in the looping. Unfortunately the image slideshow doesn't animate the gif (only the first frame). All the trac issues, flags, or pull requests have been ignored or considered obsolete for years dealing with the problem/feature

Just wondering of the possibility of a filter that has some sort of parameter that will loop the video.

Instead just using a workaround of a external player.
