Bug Description
We’re trying to have a non-repeating splash screen frames and updating the desc.txt in the splashScreenManager zip file to c 1 0 _loop is not respected and loops multiple times
1. Summary
Provide a brief description of the bug in the SDK and its impact on app functionality.
App Name: Philo
App Link on Amazon Appstore (found through Developer Console → Actions column in App List → View on Amazon.com): Philo: Live TV, Movies, Shows and Free Channels - App on Amazon Appstore

2. Steps to Reproduce
- update the splashScreen Manager with a zip file with the desc.txt using
1920 1080 24
c 1 0 _loop
- build and start the app
3. Observed Behavior
The Splash screen frames runs once completely and starts over a second time, the app starts in the middle of the second loop
4. Expected Behavior
Describe what you expected the SDK to do under normal operation.
The App splash screen should play exactly 1 time and hold the last frame until the app starts
4.a Possible Root Cause & Temporary Workaround
Fill out anything you have tried. If you don’t know, N/A is acceptable
Also tested (not supported):
- Multi-part desc.txt (p 1 0 _anim + c 0 0 _hold) — caused frantic flickering, Vega does not appear to support multiple animation parts
- PAUSE parameter (e.g., c 0 200 _loop) — no effect, as documented
Splash screen dismissal:
Using usePreventHideSplashScreen() and useHideSplashScreenCallback() — dismissal works correctly. The issue is solely that the animation cannot be configured to play only once before being dismissed.
Workaround attempted:
Adding duplicate hold frames (copies of the final frame) to extend the cycle duration. This partially works but increases bundle size and decode time, and the loop count still varies with app load time.
