A flurry of errors in my log: Yamaha Zone 4 issues

Configuration

Hi folks,

My log file is going nuts! There is some kind of issue with the Zone 4 on my Yamaha Amp:

2019-01-30 16:37:38 ERROR (Thread-15) [rxv] Invalid XML returned for request <YAMAHA_AV cmd="GET"><Zone_4><Volume><Mute>GetParam</Mute></Volume></Zone_4></YAMAHA_AV>: b''

I’m not exactly sure what is going on, but it does seem to come up thick and fast - 10k lines and counting after 45mins of HASS uptime!

Config looks like:

media_player:
  - platform: yamaha
    host: 192.168.86.247
    name: 'Home Theater Yamaha'
    source_ignore:
      - "AUDIO3"
      - "AUX"
      - "AV5"
      - "AV6"
      - "AV7"
      - "AirPlay"
      - "Bluetooth"
      - "Deezer"
      - "MusicCast Link"
      - "Spotify"
      - "SERVER"
      - "TIDAL"
    source_names:
      AV1: "Sony HD-Bluray"
      AV2: "Kodi"
      AV3: "PlayStation 4"
      AV4: "Yamaha Bluray"
      AUDIO1: "Sony TV"
      AUDIO2: "Chromecast audio"
    zone_ignore:
      - "Zone_4"
    zone_names:
      Zone_1: "Home Theatre"
      Zone_2: "Pool"
      Zone_3: "Deck"

Any thoughts folks?

Thanks!

Are you still having issues or did you ignore the component with discovery?
