Playing animated gif with mplayer and loop?

Hi,

I have tried to play a gif with the command

Code:

 mplayer -loop 0 -fs -zoom animated.gif

It is not very successful since it play fine the animated
gif but only once, and then mplayer gets stuck to the
last frame of the gif. If you know a workaround, please feel
free to let me know.

Is this a general problem or just with one specific animated gif? If it is just the one then the gif is correct/corrupt.

I just tried the mplayer command you used and it works for the gif's I checked (+/- 6 of them).

BTW: the -fs option isn't supported by all video output drivers.
