Provides extra Playback looping methods to Blender via a drop-down menu in the timeline header.

Features

Adds a menu in the Timeline header (and other animation editors) to change the Playback's Loop Method:

• Loop: Standard looping playback (default);
  
• Play Once & Stop: Play once and stop at the End Frame;
  
• Play Once & Restore: Play once and jump back to the frame you started the playback from;
  
• Play Once & Jump Start: Play once and jump back to the Start Frame;
  
• Ping-Pong: Loop back and forth between the Start and end Frames.
  

In the addon preferences, chose whether to show only the current loop method's Icon in the header (default), or also show its label (takes more header space):
