Problem uploading with Lightroom - Anyone else?

chest2tank

EDIT FROM ANDY (SmugMug): We're not sure where the problem lies - both SmugMug and Jeffrey Friedl are looking at the issue. For now - best bet is to export to JPG (I use a temp folder on my desktop so I can easily delete it later) and then upload by dragging jpgs to our Simple Uploader (in-browser).


We'll update here when we have more news.


I keep getting a checksum error when trying to upload. It's making this long process of photo delivery even longer because I have to baby sit each set. Anybody else or is it just me?

yes, I started having problems a few days ago. I've been getting strange invalid format messages. Sometimes it will upload about 20 photos, then the error appears. I restart the upload and it works fine. Next upload, same thing happens. Now it's gotten to the point that the very first photo I upload, I get the invalid format message.

I haven't had a single upload issue for about 2 years and suddenly over the past few days, it's become a nightmare trying to upload.

we're aware of the issue, but don't know the cause, as it's not fully reproducible by us. Our engineer is working on it, and hopefully we can figure it out fast. We'll also contact Jeffrey Freidl as needed.

In the meantime, export as jpgs and upload with our Simple Uploader, or MacDaddy.

You guys rock my socks. Of course tech isn't perfect, but you guys seem always be ready to make sure it's as close as you can make it. That makes me happy. I'm sending you good energy to get it working before I return from the races this weekend. Uploading 6,000 photos or so without Lightroom working the way it should will be rather difficult!

oooh new error: "invalid album ID"

Shingo

I have the "invalid album ID" and checksum error too.

Just want to help you guys, it does not happen 100% of the time on my end.

Thanks for the great service, we really have the impression that you care, unlike larger companies.

Keep up the good work

same error here....using regular drag and drop uploader...and errors when using MacDaddy

ruh roh! Something really screwy is happening with my galleries! They look all funky

Same deal. 'Send to SmugMug' and the simple uploader doesn't work. "Bad AlbumID". Using Windows XP, and tried on two different machines (one has SP3, and the other SP2)

Getting the same Bad Album error here. I've tried loading new photos and photos I've successfully loaded previously but to no avail.

I have had the same problem multiple times in the past but was told it was just me and that thousands of others didnt have problems.

This is really annoying, I can't upload more than pictures and have this problem.

I just don't know how I'm going to upload my library at this rate.

Give it time - they'll figure it out. I've had similar problems in the past and they got figured out, and I'm confident this will too.

I've uploaded thousands / GBs of pics using the LR plugin, and couldn't imagine doing it any other way.

It appears your issue is fixed, reading your other post about it.

Here's the error message :

What happens if you upload with our in-browser Simple Uploader (you'll need to export a batch of JPGs to do this).

Just to chime in. Same problem here. LR Plugin (on Mac). Aborts randomly. Usually aborts after no more than 10 or so images.

Uploading via MacDaddy seems to be ok...

Mac users can also use MacDaddy.

I have been seeing problems when uploading with the LR Plugin again. Anyone else? MacDaddy works fine. Only LR Plugin has issues...
