Description

I'm trying to connect a talk channel to my xmpp server but when I enable the bridge I get the following error.
level=fatal msg="Starting gateway failed: Bridge nctalk.1 failed to start: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value" prefix=main

I"m using the latest version of nextcloud, talk, and matterbridge.

I have the settings filled out like this:

url:  example.com:5222
muc: conference.example.com:5222
jid: user@example.com
nickname: bot
password: a long password
channel: channelname

I've verified that my account can log into my xmpp server over a normal xmpp client via username/password authentication. It works via the jsxc nextcloud app as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
