I have an automation that nightly calls alexa_media.clear_history. For some reason about September 1st it stopped working and I get “Error: Action alexa_media.clear_history not found”. Since this error started I have installed the most recent update to Alexa media player which fixed other problems but not this. From the log file:

Clear Alexa History @ 11:50 PM: Error executing script. Service not found for call_service at pos 1: Action alexa_media.clear_history not found
Does Amazon no longer permit the clearing of history or has something else changed? In other words, is there a way to get this working again?
LOTS have been changing. Amazon is consistently changing things on thier end… And the AMP integration is currently barely being maintained. A couple people have been bandaid-it together though and I think it’s recently better. But Amazon is a moving target and starting ina month or so Amazon is going to start pushing thier AI driven Alexa and I expect the traditional Alexa to get drastically worse very fast.
Oh so sad. I do appreciate all of the work that has been done on Alexa Media Player and sure hope some other great people will be able to pick up the baton. I will post my problem on Alexa Media Player. Thanks.
