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.

Thanks Tyler, seems to work.

A photographer friend pointed out to me his experience with this. It looks like it's happening with existing publishing services imported from prior releases. Creating a new one acts as a workaround until it's fixed.

OK, I uninstalled V4.1rc and re-installed V4.0 and publish to Flickr worked as expected. Will await the final version.

I'm using Lighroom 4. Yesterday I installed 4.1 Update Candidate - so happy to see support for the Canon Mark III. However, today when I try to use the Flickr uploader (which I use every day) I got an error. I have tried several times after restarting my computer, etc. Still I get the error:

An internal error has occurred: Error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code=4 "Line 1: Document is empty
" UserInfo=0x115399260 {NSLocalizedDescription=Line 1: Document is empty
}

Very frustrating as I don't wish to upload any other way (it won't update my "in catalogue" flickr collection") and I don't like missing a day's uploads. 😞

Will this issue be corrected if I revert to LR 4.0. I realty had no issues with this release.

Do I need to uninstall V4.1rc before running the LR 4.0 install???

Have the same problem when attempting to re-publish some photos.
