This is a bug, not a question or a configuration issue; Please visit our forum or chat rooms first to troubleshoot with volunteers, before creating a report. The links can be found here.
This issue is not already reported on GitHub (I've searched it).

This report addresses only a single issue; If you encounter multiple issues, kindly create separate reports for each one.

Description of the bug

After upgrading to 10.10.1, the server does not start due to ffmpeg error.
The error is not very specific, I tried upgrading the jellyfin-ffmpeg version in openmediavault to 7.0.2-Jellyfin, but the issue is the same.
Attaching the logs.

Do not set these irrelevant volumes, it will break the existing ffmpeg and related libraries inside the container.

Now server startups without the ffmpep error after removing as suggested. Thank you very much.
