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:

Create a publishing service, e.g. publish to harddrive
Manually put a single video into the corresponding collection
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.

I ran into the same while attempting to Publish Collections to Smugmug using the official plugin. This is for new Collections and updating existing ones; it failed with the above error if they contained videos. I tried multiple approaches to resolve without luck until someone at lightroomqueen pointed me to this. I have been using lightroom and the official smugmug plugin for years without many issues; this one makes it harder and challanges the workflow. I hope it gets resolved soon!

I have the same problem on a M2 Mac (14.1.2 (23B92)), only while publishing videos. Photos are okay.

Is the full error message, "Can't update this collection. An internal error has occurred: assertion failed!"? And if so, does the problem collection contain a video that LR is trying to publish?

II have the same problem and also get the message "Can't update this collection. An internal error has occurred: assertion failed!". My collection contains videos. If I remove the videos I can export the collection.
However, it would be nice if the videos could also be exported.

I have the exact same issue with Jeffrey Friedl's Flickr publisher. If there is a video in the Publish Collection or Smart Publish Collection, I get this error. What I don't know is if this is a Jeffrey Friedl issue or not. Someone ought to try publishing using some other publish service, unrelated to Jeffrey Friedl, to see if this is an LrC problem or a Jeffrey Friedl problem. (I would do it, but I don't use any other publish service; and I have just gotten back from a trip). Windows 11, LrC 13.1

As I already wrote in my original post, I did exactly that. I used the "publish to harddrive" and got the same error and so figured out it had nothing to do with Jeffreys plugin. I got suspicious when I turned on the debug log in his plugin and there was not a single line in the log.
