Hi,
I have another problem.
I can't publish videos. They were taken with an iPhone 13

Ensure you have not turned off video support, Preferences > Advanced > Video_support.
If that is enabled attach a small test video from your phone so others can test it.

It depends on your OS, on a Mac preferences is under the jAlbum menu, on windows it is under the tools menu. But if you don’t know where they are then you shouldn’t have been able to change the setting from the default. So just attach a test file.

and this plugin refuses to publish videos

I have moved this to the ‘Feature request’ forum, it is nothing to do with the Plain skin. The jAlbum plugin was made in 2020 whilst video support in Lightroom was introduced in June 2022.

At the moment I think you will need to manually add the video to the jAlbum project.

Odd. When I wrote that plugin I set it explicitly to allow videos as well. It's a rather long "ramp-up-time" for wading into the plugin code so I don't know if it's worth it. The source code is available within the plugin, should you wish to have a go at it.

Here's a reference to the code that SHOULD make it support videos: jAlbumExportServiceProvider.lua:283
--- (optional, Boolean)  When plug-in defined value istrue, both video and
 -- still photos can be exported through this plug-in. If not present or set to false,
 --  video files cannot be exported through this plug-in. If set to the string "only",
 -- video files can be exported, but not still photos.
 -- <p>No conversions are available for video files. They are simply
 -- copied in the same format that was originally imported into Lightroom.</p>
 -- <p>First supported in version 3.0 of the Lightroom SDK.</p>
	-- @name exportServiceProvider.canExportVideo
	-- @class property
 
exportServiceProvider.canExportVideo = true

Stupid question as I don’t use Lightroom: can videos be added to collections? If yes do they appear in the publishers collection for export?

David: there is plenty of log reporting but where would a Lightroom user be able to read the log for the publisher?

Yes, the videos can be added to collections in LR. They appear in the publishers collection for export, but they are not exported, they are ignored.
