Alexa media player failed

Third party integrations

Good day all,
The Alexa media player fails with this error.
“Invalid config for [alexa_media]: [client_id] is an invalid option for [alexa_media]. Check: alexa_media->alexa_media->client_id. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 63). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/alexa_media/”

I have the folder created as indicated and the config in my configuration.yaml file. the credentials are correctly listed in the secrets.yaml file. I don’t know if it is just a coincidence, but It was working fine until version .94. (I know, patches always get blamed…)

Could someone suggest a possible solution?

config
  custom_components
    alexa_media
      __init__.py
      const.py
      media_player.py
      notify.py

alexa_media:
  accounts:
    - email: !secret amazon_user
      password: !secret amazon_password
      url: amazon.com

Updated HA toasted my Alexa configurations too.

You guys need to update the latest alexa media version in order to get it work with new HA.
Also delete your file .pickle (/config/[email protected]) and restart HA then reconnect Alexa account

Deleting the pickle file then rebooting twice again fixed the issue. Thank You!

I’m having problems getting my alexa’s to talk anymore. I used to access them through python as follows:

self.call_service("media_player/alexa_tts", entity_id=player, message=mess)

I’m gathering from the previous posts here and in other topics that I should be using the notify.alexa_media services now?

First I have one service called notify.alexa_media, as well as a notify.alexa_media_[devicename] entity for each of my alexa dot’s. which one should I use now?

What arguments do I need to pass to the notify service?

Thanks

It appears to have started happening to everyone starting around 9AM CDT.
