Not all of these are ffmpeg caused, e.g. picking a few random items shows they are new meson issues:

https://errors.yoctoproject.org/Errors/Details/622943/

I think we should also check whether something is abandonware, e.g. minidlna had its last commit in Nov 2020.

Someone needs to fix them.
as seen this is not a trivial amount of recipes to fix. Generally its cordial to
keep meta-openembedded working for extended testing and CI.
