The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Windows-10-10.0.19045
ChimeraX Version: 1.11rc202511271917 (2025-11-27 19:17:23 UTC)
Description
Just wondering if there's an intended way to do something. I have a tool, and I want to user to be able to click an ""animate"" button, which will then cause ChimeraX to infinitely loop through the coordinate sets of a structure. This is for animating normal vibrational modes. I was able to this do in previous versions of ChimeraX (e.g. 1.6.1, not sure when it changed).

The way I did this previously was basically

from chimerax.std_commands.coordset_gui import CoordinateSetSlider

```
...
<code to figure out coordinates from selected normal mode and other settings>
...
slider =  CoordinateSetSlider(
    session,
    model,
    movie_framerate=anim_fps,
    pause_frames=pause_frames,
)
slider.play_cb()
```

Looking through the code for Slider again, and I think `slider.play()` might be more appropriate. But what this is doing in the current version of ChimeraX, it's just opening the coordset slider gui. It does not cause the coordsets to start playing (even with `slider.play()` instead). Is there any intended way to do basically ""coordset #model loop forever""?
