Alexa Media Player broke after December OS and Core updates

Third party integrations

Something happened to my Alexa Media Player integration after I ran updates and have no clue how to resolve it.

I am now at:
core-2021.12.7
Home Assistant OS 7.0
supervisor-2021.12.2

Here is what is in the logs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you’ve installed via HACS, I believe the solution is

  • install latest version of HA (you’ve done that)
  • then install the updated version of Alexa Media Player (it’s not available in HACS until after you update)

I installed it manually earlier this year. HACS for whatever reason caused me problems so I removed it when I first started using HA.

I will look into re-installing it when I have time, it was quite a feat manually but will do it again. Thanks.
