Jellyfin supports installation only on Debian and Ubuntu LTS. For Ubuntu, the latest supported version is 24.04 (noble). Alternatively, you can use Docker.

Welcome to Jellyfin :-)

You must remove the PPA for jellyfin, using jellyfin in docker dosent require ffmpeg, because its included.

For best help, i need you to post your docker-compose.yml file in a pastebin and share the raw link.
