<![CDATA[ERROR [MediaService] Error: ffmpeg exited with code 1: Unrecognized option 'fps_mode'.]]>Thanks to admin-cli, I was able to restore my administrator account.
Since my videos wouldn't play in the browser, I tried different video encoding settings. Long story short: each value generates the same error in the logs:

ERROR [MediaService] Error: ffmpeg exited with code 1: Unrecognized option 'fps_mode".`

I didn't find anything in the immich issue queue. Do you think it is a bug in the app package?

The way to go:
for my tests, i switched the transcode policy to all videos (admin -> settings -> ffmpeg settings

admin -> settings -> Jobs -> TRANSCODE VIDEOS press All

Switch to Cloudron -> App -> Logfiles

See https://github.com/nsg/immich-distribution/issues/48 (immich required this flag in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/3053)
