    raise ValueError(
ValueError: Unable to create tensor, you should probably activate truncation and/or padding with 'padding=True' 'truncation=True' to have batched tensors with the 
same length. Perhaps your features (`videos` in this case) have excessive nesting (inputs type `list` where type `int` is expected).
```
### Expected behavior

i just try to calculate ppl and it's the model is a mistral-7B-0.1，i dont offer keyword like images or videos，so how can i solve it？

hi! what was the fix for this error?

cc @Rocketknight1 since you closed the issue! 
Otherwise your inputs seem wrong:
