Description
Just seen this post on the forum where they were getting the error
Automatic maximum bitrate calculation failed with: Cannot invoke "java.util.List.iterator()" because "ls" is null
Which was caused by not having ping on that OS.
Might be worth adding a check for this or install ping if it is missing.

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the Java path that depends on ping and review the linked forum report; done means the application handles a missing ping installation explicitly instead of failing with the reported null-list error.
