I don't understand your problem?

.gif animations can be set to loop (repeat the animation) forever, or for any number of predefined times.
issue - xnviewmp ignores this setting and always plays gifs as if they are looped

there are 2 test gifs, check how they plays here in chrome or in ms photos app:
- test_img_gif_NOT_looped.gif - plays only once
- test_img_gif_looped.gif - plays in loop forever
but XnviewMP thinks that they both are looped forever

Ok, it's not really a bug. I don't load the loop count
