Gstreamer Multifilesrc loop short video

I was wondering if it is possible to even get the multifilesrc to work. I am on the latest gstreamer version and cannot make a simple video loop. I've tried so many iterations of the above, to show a few:

gst-launch-1.0 multifilesrc location="./short.mp4" loop=TRUE index=0 ! decodebin ! autovideosink
gst-launch-1.0 multifilesrc location="./short.mp4" loop=TRUE ! decodebin ! autovideosink
gst-launch-1.0 multifilesrc location="./short.mp4" loop=true ! decodebin ! autovideosink
gst-launch-1.0 multifilesrc location="./short.mpg" loop=true ! decodebin ! autovideosink

Does anyone know what is missing to loop? I also added raw caps filtering to no avail. I can do it incredibly easily with an image on multifilesrc, but with video cannot get to work. I need the script to repeat the video file provided in a larger script, but cannot get it to work even at the most basic level.

According to https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/multifile/multifilesrc.html?gi-language=c, it should be possible on all media.

multifilesrc element is not designed to replay video streams in loop. As per documentation, this element Reads buffers from sequentially named files. [...] File names are created by replacing "%d" with the index using printf().. So it can be useful to make a video out of images like 000.png to 999.png for example. WHen loop=True is used, the element will replay the stream from 000 to 999.

I don't think it's possible to loop video in GStreamer, see Looping a video with gstreamer and gst-launch?
