10350	Movie filter initializes in a broken state when called with loop=0	Dennis E. Mungai		"**Summary of the bug:**

As stated: The {{{movie}}} filter will not output any packets when started with {{{loop=0}}} argument.


**How to reproduce:**

Here is a simple sample command demonstrating the issue:

{{{
ffmpeg -nostdin -an -sn -y \
-i 'x264-test.ts' \
-filter_complex \
""[0:v]drawtext=text=\\ :expansion=strftime:fontcolor=white:fontsize=0:fontfile=/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuMathTeXGyre.ttf:x=w/2-tw/2:y=h/2-th/2[video];movie=/home/brainiarc7/Desktop/src/logo/test1_%d.png:loop=0[logo];\
[video][logo]overlay=x=0:y=0:alpha=0:format=yuv420:repeatlast=1[overlay];\
[overlay]scale=640:360[v0] "" \
-map '[v0]' -b:v 1250k -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p \
-sc_threshold 0 -keyint_min 50 -bf 0 -g 50 -minrate 1250k \
-maxrate 1250k -bufsize 1250k -preset medium -r 25 \
-f mpegts \
""ovtest.ts""
}}}


**Output:**

The process simply ""hangs"" and no output is generated, regardless of the muxer(s) used:

The ffmpeg process must then be killed manually, and will remain hung indefinitely unless killed.

When the {{{loop=0}}} argument to the movie filter is omitted, the command runs *but* the dependent filter chain right after with overlay receive no input, and thus no logo overlay is inserted:

The same command works on a very old ffmpeg version, ie 4.3.2.
Anything newer than this is a show-stopper.
