Do you know how i can purge the login cache or make it forget what i previously logged in with?

Plug-in error log for plug-in at: /Users/jeff/Downloads/photobucket-jfriedl.lrplugin

**** Error 1

An error occurred while attempting to run one of the plug-in‚Äôs scripts.
LrPrefs: attempt to write complex table value to prefs key LoginCache4::alexandriaportfolio

Unfortunately, if you get this you have to delete your Lr preferences file, or upgrade past Lr2 (to Lr3 or Lr4). I’m not quite sure why this is happening, but Lr2 is sufficiently old that I’m reticent to spend time debugging an Lr2-only problem… —Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,
i’m trying to use the photobucket plugin and keep getting this error message:
“An error occurred while reading the schema for the plug-in “jf Photobucket”. The plug-in will be disabled”
I tried removing and readding the plugin..nothings worked.
Also, it worked for me just a few days ago, just now getting this message. any ideas?
alex

Not much to go on there… are there any diagnostics in any of the plugin sections? (Check them all). —Jeffrey

Jeffrey,

I am getting an error:
Couldn’t render image: An unknown error occurred. This photo was not rendered.

This happens uploading Canon .cr2 files and their respective .jpg files processed in DxO.

I’ve used this plugin many times before without problems.

That error sounds like one from Lightroom, not the plugin, so I expect that there’s something wrong/unavailable about the master image. I suspect that if you try to do a vanilla export to disk, you’ll get the same error, but if not, after getting the error with the plugin, send a log… —Jeffrey

is there a way to create a photobucket button in the publish services menu? I downloaded the plugin and installed it. It works fine although I don’t know how to add it to the services already pre-loaded with LR 3. Thanks

No, sorry, that plugin is Export only, and does not support Publish. —Jeffrey

Just a word of thanks – your Photobucket Plug-in has made my life so much easier in getting images up to the various photographic forums I enjoy. Having registered I look forward making full use of it.

Keep up the good work – any help us old fogies get to make life easier.

Thanks for your great plug-ins! I’m currently having a problem with the Photobucket export plugin. Every time I try to upload (so far it’s been videos) it gets through the first one but then times out. It says it’s going to retry in a few seconds, retries, and then eventually times out again. It then proceeds to retry in the same way a second time. It never successfully finishes.

The interesting thing is that each of these times it is actually uploading the videos. So if I let it retry twice, I actually get three copies of the video on Photobucket. I confirmed this is the case by watching my bandwidth being used during these retries.

If I can do anything with logs, etc., to debug this, I’m ready to help.

Video uploads are working for me in my tests, though I haven’t tried any really long videos. Maybe PB is having issues, or there’s something with your network. I did run into a problem where BP was having troubles with video deletes… hopefully they’ll fix that one. —Jeffrey

Thank you very much for providing these plugins. I have one problem with the photobucket plugin though – when exporting, it tends to freeze up after 10 or so photos and won’t export the rest. Does it every single time I try to export multiple photos to photobucket (and has been going on for months if not a year now). Any idea why?

I’ve never heard of this, but I’d have to guess that it’s something with your networking… security or router. These kinds of things are notoriously difficult to figure out, even in person. Others are not reporting it, so it’s probably not the plugin…. —Jeffrey

Thank’s for your fast response.

“Minimize Metadata” is not enabled.

I am publishing to Picasa, SmugMug, ZenFolio, Flickr and Expono with your plugins at the same time.

Everything works 100% correct with the other 5 plugins.

It’s only PhotoBucket that gives this problem.

I did some tests, and it seems that they no longer pull keywords from images (if they ever had in the first place…. I don’t recall). On the plus side, while I was revisiting the plugin, I added video support to the version I just pushed. —Jeffrey

Than you for all your plugin’s

Photobucket supports 20 tags.
I am not able to upload any tags / keywords at all

Title and description works correctly, but even if I only upload a single tag / keyword, it’s simply not displayed on PhotoBucket

Are you sure you’re actually sending them? (Is “Minimize Metadata” perhaps enabled?) —Jeffrey

I am having issues installing in lr3. I go to publishing manager, to plug in manager, then through all the steps there, including registration. Click done. It shows up in plug in manger list as installed and running. When I click done there and return to publishing manager, photobucket does not show up in the list of publish services.

The Photobucket plugin doesn’t support Publish, only normal Export. —Jeffrey
