Continue Playing Even During Animation

[caughtinflux]

Looked through the project and comments where I thought I'd find something, but I've been unable to find anything that explains why the GIFs are paused during an animation. This is the only flaw with the class as far as I can tell, everything else works perfectly.

Are you referring to the playback of the image view pausing e.g. when it's inside a scroll view and the user scrolls?

[caughtinflux]

Yes.

The relevant comment in code is here: https://github.com/Flipboard/FLAnimatedImage/blob/master/FLAnimatedImageDemo/FLAnimatedImage/FLAnimatedImageView.m#L147

It's on the to do list to investigate whether it's zero-risk to enable. If you already want to give it a try, just change the run loop mode to NSRunLoopCommonModes.

Let me know!

I did change that already, and it didn't seem to make a difference, other than the fact that the GIFs don't pause. The comment you linked me to just says that "we don't support…", so I'm wondering what the reason behind that is.

[raphaelschaad]

It was a defensive choice because I saw some issues at the time (performance, run loop, ...), which might not be valid anymore and I'll revisit. In the meantime, feel free to use it with the CommonModes and enjoy continuous animation playback! :) If you have any concerns or thoughts, let me know.

Closing this issue as a dupe of #6
