    Animated GIF - play looping

    I’m hosting an animated GIF in a WPF MediaElement. It works, but not continually looping. It reaches a point where the animation just stops. Is there a fix for this in WPF?

    Is the GIF setup to loop infinitely but in WPF the loop just stops?

    Yeah. In windows picture viewer, it seems to loop infinitely (though I haven’t tested it infinitely In WPF, seems to loop for about a minute

    One option would be to use the winforms PictureBox control. If that works, then you know it is something with the WPF control you're using. If it doesn't work, then you know it is something with the GIF's animation settings.

    I'm less than a week into learning WPF. Could you post an example?

    For what it's worth, I don't like this as a solution to your problem. It feels like a hack to use a WinForm control in lieu of a WPF control.

    I'm just recommending this to rule out the issue with the image's settings.
