I've uploaded a video clip on this site: https://pideja.ca/marco/Fr/galleries/octobre/ but, as you can see, no video!
But, I already uploaded successfully two other clips when in Backlight 2! But now, on Backlight 3, I can't find where to indicate the video ID.

Well.... seems that field is missing in the online Backlight Publisher. I see the field in the Lightroom Publisher though.
I've reported it.

Looking forward to the correction.

Also, how to get the albums in a certain order. I used to indicate in LR "managed by Lightroom" and I put a number before the slug but it doesn't seem to work in Backlight 3.

It works just as it always has. chose “slug” as the order method in the album set

I guess I'm doing something wrong here: I created an Album set and then an Album but in either, I can't find the order method let alone "slug".

In the create/edit album set dialog box, under the Base Settings tab is Album Order.
The same setting is available in Backlight Publisher ablum set setttings
this is getting off topic so if there are other questions unrelated to the title of the topic, can you start a new one?

Thank you and sorry for the off-topic.

I have a fix for the Video ID in our working code. This had been lost during refactoring - the same Page Content section is currently used for Albums, Album Sets and Top-level Galleries, with Video ID not being applicable to the latter two. This will be released with our next maintenance update.

Thanks, Ben. Looking forward to that fix.

In the meantime, is it OK to publish some albums from LR mixed in with the albums published with Backlight? Will there be problems down the road with "mixed" albums?
Offline
you can mix albums. the only caveat is that you can’t control albums that were created in Backlight via the Lightroom Publisher.

I get it, thanks. I would do it as a stopgap but would have to correct on Backlight as soon as that maintenance update comes thru. I do want a completely Backlight publish in the end.

You'd still be able to control an album published with Lightroom. You can deleted or add pictures, change text, delete the album.
But if you use Backlight Publisher add images to a Lightroom published album, the image added will not be manageable from Lightroom.
Any text you change in the Backlight Publisher will be changed in the album in Lightroom though.
Test it out on one of your test sites to see what the limitations are.
