<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">HI,<br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been having problems with MythPodcaster since upgrading to ubuntu 18.04, I'm hoping that someone here can help me.<br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I've had to downgrade tomcat to tomcat 8.0.52 and I'm using oracle-java7.<br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The web interface loads ok, but whenever MythPodcaster attempts to transcode a recording, I get this error message:<br /><br />2018-05-28 15:40:31,670 ERROR [MythPodcasterTranscodingThread-1] transcode.FeedFileAccessorImpl (FeedFileAccessorImpl.<a href="java:385">java:385</a>) - Error while transcoding, setting link to null<br />java.lang.ClassCastException: net.urlgrey.mythpodcaster.xml.GenericTranscoderConfigurationItem cannot be cast to net.urlgrey.mythpodcaster.xml.FFMpegTranscoderConfigurationItem<br /> at net.urlgrey.mythpodcaster.transcode.FFMpegTranscoderImpl.transcode(FFMpegTranscoderImpl.<a href="java:56">java:56</a>)<br /> at net.urlgrey.mythpodcaster.transcode.TranscodingControllerImpl.encodeOnePass(TranscodingControllerImpl.<a href="java:172">java:172</a>)<br /> at net.urlgrey.mythpodcaster.transcode.TranscodingControllerImpl.transcode(TranscodingControllerImpl.<a href="java:55">java:55</a>)<br /> at net.urlgrey.mythpodcaster.transcode.FeedFileAccessorImpl.addProgramToFeed(FeedFileAccessorImpl.<a href="java:323">java:323</a>)<br /> at net.urlgrey.mythpodcaster.transcode.IndividualFeedTranscodeTaskImpl.run(IndividualFeedTranscodeTaskImpl.<a href="java:149">java:149</a>)<br /> at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.<a href="java:1145">java:1145</a>)<br /> at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.<a href="java:615">java:615</a>)<br /> at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.<a href="java:745">java:745</a>)<br /><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">My first thought was that it is a file access error, but the .rss .html &.png files are all created ok, so MythPodcaster can definitely write to the output directory.<br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p>
<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I've also tried setting up mythpodcaster in docker, but I cannot get the web interface to work in docker. In many ways this would be my preferred option, since it would be unaffected by any OS upgrades.<br /></span></p>

<p style="padding: 0; margin: 0;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Any help, gratefully received.<br /></span></p>
