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

looks like a typo in the command running ffmpeg

Looks like it might need a more recent ffmpeg. See https://github.com/nsg/immich-distribution/issues/48 (immich required this flag in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/3053)

They use ffmpeg from the jellyfin project - https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/main/server/bin/install-ffmpeg.sh (ffmpeg 6 it seems - https://github.com/immich-app/immich/blob/e54cf914d70e6bba9618f898c8b9ae8a32d43811/server/build-lock.json#L20)
