+  Sets a manual loop count.
+
+  Note that the interpretation depends on the underlying format, for
+  example animated XML only supports enabling/disabling looping,
+  i.e. a loop count cannot explicitly be specified. On the other hand
+  animated GIF and MNG supports explicit loop counts too.
+
+  Generally -1 means infinite looping and 0 means no loop, i.e. play
+  only once.
+
+  When this function is not called, the looping behavior is based on
+  what is specified in the file, e.g. in case of axml the playmode
+  attribute, in case of GIF the value returned by loopCount() of the
+  underlying QImageReader, etc.
