Description

If I start a slide show with setting loop: false, the slide show continues affter the last image with the first image.

Steps to reproduce

See demo album https://andrewolff.jalbum.net/LG_Eerde/

JS code that you use to initialize lightGallery.

javascript

const lg = document.getElementById("thumbsgallery");
let plugin = null;

function initGallery() {
    plugin = lightGallery(lg, {  
            showCloseIcon: true, 
            hideBarsDelay: 3*1000,
            showBarsAfter: 3*1000,

            slideShowInterval: viewtime,
            loop: false,
            hideControlOnEnd: true,
            speed: transtime,
            startAnimationDuration: transtime,
            backdropDuration: transtime,
            pager: false,// No Pager plugin
            hideScrollbar: true,
            getCaptionFromTitleOrAlt: false,
            appendSubHtmlTo: ".lg-sub-html", // caption onder image
            mode: transeffect,
            counter: false,

            allowMediaOverlap:  true,

            download: true,  // show link always for weblocations, so also if showDownloadLink=false         
            actualSize: true,
            thumbnail: false, 
            extraProps: ['photodata'],
            plugins: [
            lgZoom,  
            lgFullscreen,
            lgAutoplay,
            lgHash,
            lgVideo
            ],
            mobileSettings: {
            controls: false, // Hide arrow buttons
            },
            licenseKey: "Required for commercial sites",  
        }
    )
};

});
