Photodeck publishing plugin fails

I'm not sure if this applies to any other publishing plugins as well, or if it's limited to the Photodeck plugin...

 

If I create a collection with a lot of images (in excess of 80 for example), and publish them, Lightroom 13 (and 13.01) gets so far and fails with the following pop-up error message:

Can't update this collection.

An internal error has occurred:
postMultipart: chunk must contain either value or filePath

 

Plugin worked fine in Lightroom Classic 12.5.

 

It seems to be random, but consistent - if that makes sense..

I tried uploading a gallery with over 100 images and I received this error after only 92 images had uploaded. If I tried to republish, no new photos would upload and the 'New Photos Waiting to Publish' didn't change - LR just refused to upload the rest of the images.

I tried it with a collection of 98 images, and it produced the error after 62 images had uploaded..  So I deleted the gallery, tried to republish the same 98 images in a new collection, and it still created the error at 62 images..  So to rule out the image, I tried creating a new collection with 94 images - omitting images 63-66 to see if it would go past them, if they were causing the issue.

It then only uploaded 60 images, failing at the SECOND image BEFORE it got last time (ie: image 60 instead of 62) - so it's not because of the image content/metadata as images 60 and 61 uploaded succesfully before.

So I tried creating a new collection and removed images 60 and 61, as well as 63-66 - and this time the error popped up at image 50...  

Anyone else having trouble with publishing plugins, specifically Photodeck?

Have you sent an e-mail to Photodeck?

And it appears other publish services are having issues (or is that just in my old gray matter)

Yes - and it turns out it's not Photodeck's fault.

 

It appears that Lightroom V13.0 corrupted my v12 catalogue when it converted it for V13, but didn't corrupt it enough to produce any obvious errors.

 

With 13.01 installed, I reopened my original v12 catalogue and let it convert it to a new V13.01 catalogue again, and I've tried uploading the same images which refused to complete earlier..  and now it works.

 

Very worrying that the conversion process corrupted the catalogue.

 

I've let Photodeck know it's not an issue with their pluginn after all.
