4 # Desc: Gets audio/video format of file as string
5 # Usage: get_av_format arg1
8 # Input: arg1: input file path
9 # Output: stdout (if valid audio or video format)
10 # exit code 0 if av file; 1 otherwise
11 # Example: get_av_format myvideo.mp4
12 # Note: Would return "opus" if full ffprobe report had 'Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp'
13 # Note: Not tested with videos containing multiple video streams
