1D CNN Variational Autoencoder Conv1D Size

I am trying to create a 1D variational autoencoder to take in a 931x1 vector as input, but I have been having trouble with two things:

1. Getting the output size of 931, since maxpooling and upsampling gives even sizes
2. Getting the layer sizes proper

This is what I have so far. I added 0 padding on both sides of my input array before training (This is why you'll see h+2 for the input, 931+2 = 933), and then cropped the output to also get a 933 output size. Using 931 input gives 928 output which I am not sure what the best way to get 931 from there without cropping.

input_sig = Input(batch_shape=(w,h+2, 1))
x = Conv1D(8,3, activation='relu', padding='same',dilation_rate=2)(input_sig)
# x = ZeroPadding1D((2,1))(x)
x1 = MaxPooling1D(2)(x)
x2 = Conv1D(4,3, activation='relu', padding='same',dilation_rate=2)(x1)
x3 = MaxPooling1D(2)(x2)
x4 = AveragePooling1D()(x3)
flat = Flatten()(x4)
encoder = Dense(2)(flat)
x = encoder
z_mean = Dense(latent_dim, name=z_mean)(x)
z_log_var = Dense(latent_dim, name=z_log_var)(x)
z = Sampling()([z_mean, z_log_var])
encoder = Model(input_sig, [z_mean, z_log_var, z], name=encoder)
encoder.summary()

latent_inputs = keras.Input(shape=(latent_dim,))
# d1 = Dense(464)(latent_inputs)
d1 = Dense(468)(latent_inputs)
# d2 = Reshape((117,4))(d1)
d2 = Reshape((117,4))(d1)
d3 = Conv1D(4,1,strides=1, activation='relu', padding='same')(d2)
d4 = UpSampling1D(2)(d3)
d5 = Conv1D(8,1,strides=1, activation='relu', padding='same')(d4)
d6 = UpSampling1D(2)(d5)
d7 = UpSampling1D(2)(d6)
d8 = Conv1D(1,1, strides=1, activation='sigmoid', padding='same')(d7)
decoded = Cropping1D(cropping=(1,2))(d8) # this is the added step

decoder = Model(latent_inputs, decoded, name=decoder)
decoder.summary()

This is the summary printed:

However when I try to fit my model I get the following exception:

ValueError: Invalid reduction dimension 2 for input with 2 dimensions. for '{{node Sum}} = Sum[T=DT_FLOAT, Tidx=DT_INT32, keep_dims=false](Mean, Sum/reduction_indices)' with input shapes: [1,933], [2] and with computed input tensors: input[1] = 1 2.

Anyone experience this error, or see what I am doing wrong in my model construction? I am new at this and not sure what I am doing wrong.

Note that I have modified this from a working 28x28 MNIST VAE from the Keras documentation.

Thanks in advance
