P: LR 4.1 RC, Flickr publishing broken

With LR 4.1 RC, the Flickr publisher seems to be broken. I added 2 new photos to a collection today after updating to the 4.1 RC, and tried to publish, but I get an error message: "Can't update this collection. An internal error has occurred: Invalid at the top level of the document."

Publishing the same collection (without the 2 new images) worked fine yesterday in 4.0 before the RC update. Closing and re-starting LR did not solve the issue. Running Vista x64 SP2 with all updates and 64-bit LR installed.

yes deleting the service and creating the profile worked (4.1RC). but then you lose all the connections between your previously exported sets... that sux!

Creating a new profile worked for me with LR4.1

create a new Flickr publishing profile. Simply editing the existing profile will not work with this release candidate. if that doesn't work then uninstall and reinstall v4.0.

LR 4.1 and Flickr do not connect..Went into flickr edit settings and reconfigured and it will not let me save. Keeps saying Document is empty..Internal Error has occurred...error domaine=NSXml Parser Error Domain code=4 "line1" Document is empty. i finally removed and added flickr back in the edit setting mode. It will not let me drop a photo into Flickr but the Save button is still blinking and non of my metadata is being carried over. I can not make comments.

After updating to the latest beta, I can't upload to Flickr. It starts but then stops with an error message

"invalid at the top level of the document"

Manually uploading the same file works. They are all tiffs.

ps is there a way to reduce the file size of an image as I drag it onto the flickr bar?

I upgraded to 4.1 rc hoping to remedy the issue(s) I have been experiencing after upgrading from LR3 to LR4. It would be nice to upgrade to an Adobe product that works upon release. I blame myself, as this is not the first instance I have paid to upgrade an Adobe product only to find that I am a beta tester working out various kinks.

@NOel, as far as I am aware, the Flickr publishing "breaks" only when you upgrade from the official 4.0 official release to the 4.1 "release candidate". A release candidate is essentially a beta version so if you don't want to be a "beta tester" then don't install release candidates and stick with official releases.

4.0 worked fine for me, and now 4.1 RC works fine after creating the new publishing service. It takes about 30 seconds to fix, I don't know why you are asking for a refund. And if you upgraded to the 4.1 RC you can always uninstall that and go back to 4.0.

It really irks me that I paid $79 to upgrade only to find that I am a beta tester for Adobe. I have experienced several kinks with LR4 aside from the publishing services. Does anyone know if there is a way to get a refund? I would gladly revert back to LR3.

If you create a new Flickr publishing service, it will work. See earlier posts for quick instructions. At least it fixed my problem.
