Sorry, but loop filter does not work that way.

size parameter of loop filter is by default 0, meaning it will loop nothing.
For single images you must set this option to exactly 1.

This is all mentioned and examples are in official documentation.

Note that ffmpeg default fps will be 25 for loop input/output.

Recent ffmpeg version even error out if size option is not set.
