Infinite movie animation in Matlab

Question

From my previous question, I have tried to understand how to create frames or to play an animation in Matlab. I have clarified everything, but now I'm trying to figure out how to play it infinitely. For example let us consider two snippets of code. The first from my previous question

x = 0:0.1:10;
FRAMES = 32;                  %// Total number of frames
for k = 1:FRAMES
    ph = k * 2 * pi / FRAMES; %// Accumulate phase
    plot(x, sin(x + ph))      %// Generate plot
    grid, axis equal
    M(k) = getframe;          %// Capture frame
end

%// Play movie 10 times
movie(M, 10)

This plays the movie 10 times. But let us consider a second case of what I am trying to do

for k = 1:16
    plot(fft(eye(k+16)))
    axis equal
    M(k) = getframe;
end
while 1
movie(M,10)
end

It starts an animation and after a few seconds it stops. I have put movei(M,10) into

while 1

end

because I wanted to play it infinitely or create an infinite loop. But it does not do its job properly. So please advice me. Is it possible for Matlab to create infinite movies?

yes not only inf in movie,but inf in loop as well,both together should work.i have checked it — , Mar 25 '13 at 05:00
@dato If that works for you, then please make sure that the accepted answer reflects that. — Eitan T, Mar 25 '13 at 08:59

you can just make movie(M,inf)

This would make sense but they must have gotten rid of that feature. For me, MATLAB R2015b Linux complains that repetition count must be finite. – Electo Nov 29 '15 at 21:44
