P: Assertion failed error when trying to publish a video

Issue: 

  • Lightroom Classic Version Number: 13.1
  • OS Version Number: Windows 11 23H2


Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a publishing service, e.g. publish to harddrive
  2. Manually put a single video into the corresponding collection
  3. Hit the publish button

 

Expected result: Video gets published to harddrive
Actual result: A warning dialog appears saying "This collection can't be updated. An internal error occurred: assertion failed!"

 

This took me a while to figure out. I'm a long time user of Jeffrey Friedl's Folder Publisher and all of a sudden it started failing with the above message. After quite some testing I found out that it didn't even get as far as starting the plugin, but failed on the collection itself. Then found out that it occurs only when I add a video and also for the regular publishing service that comes with Lightroom. I tried different video formats, doesn't seem to matter.

"Same problem, just redid the donation and authenticated again only to discover it won't upload the video."

 

The bug is in LR 13.1. It won't be fixed until at least 13.2 (due out this week?) or perhaps a later version of LR.

"When is this problem going to be fixed?"

 

Adobe almost never comments publicly on when a bug might be fixed. They generally release a new version every eight weeks. LR 13.1 was released 12/14/23, so we might expect to see 13.2 the week of 2/8 or the week after.

I am having the same problem of not being able to Publish to Smugmug when the gallery contains videos.  (LRC 13.1 on Mac Mini).  When is this problem going to be fixed?

I have a Hard Drive publish group that includes some folders with some videos. Up until an update or two ago, this worked as expected: I could add videos, hit "publish", it'd churn for a while, then all the new photos and videos would be moved from "photos to publish" or "modified photos to re-publish" to the "published" section, and all would be good.

 

Starting about a month ago, photos would continue publishing fine, but videos specifically would never move to "published", they'd always stay in "modified photos to re-publish" no matter how many times I tried to re-publish them. The video files are being output correctly, that's all fine, it just wastes time on all subsequent pushlishings by re-encoding all these videos again each time (which is pretty slow to begin with).

 

I can manually mark videos as "mark as up-to-date", but that's obviously a work-around and is a problem when I'm exporting a bunch of videos and am not sure which ones have and haven't already been published.

 

Would like to know if this is a known bug and when it might get fixed.

Windows 11

Lightroom Classic 13.1 (Build 202312111226-41a494e8)

Hard drive destination is a mounted network drive (mounted as a lettered disk).

Hi, I can no longer publish folders using the "Hard Drive" publish service, if the folder contains a video file.

I have only noticed this recently and I assume it is since the last update as it use to work in the past.

I'm using Classic on PC (Windows 10)

I have a series of smart collections that I regularly publish to folders on my hard drive which are then sync with Onedrive for back-up.

If the smart collection contains images only, it published fine.

If the smart collection contains at least one video file, I get the following message when trying to "Publich"

Warning

Can't update this collection.

An internal error has occurred assertion failed!

Definitly a bug.  I had to downgrade to v13.0.2 as well to get it to work again.

I've been using the Publish to Hard Drive service for 7 years with no issues.  Now, suddenly, videos will no longer publish shows an error.

If I remove the video from the publish collection, it publishes all of the photos correctly.  It breaks when videos are in the collection.  My videos have always published before.  This has started with the v13 of the program.  I'm running Windows 10.  Seems like a bug in "Publish to Hard Drive" service.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

On my system also regular export of video-files fails since the last update. The picture files are exported but all video files are not found and therefor missing in export.

 

Looking at the harddisk these video-files all do exist however.
