Last I checked which was quite awhile ago, the EXIF was only available in a
successfully decoded frame and the frames metadata.
I mentioned this also long ago and while it does possibly make sense for
multi-frame files, it does not make much sense for a single frame jpeg file.
I don't know if this is still the case because I don't use ffmpeg for single
frame jpegs still. It may have improved but don't know.
