Media player stopped playing mp3

ESPHome
1

A few weeks ago I have setup a media player via esphome. It was working. I was able to play tts and mp3 files. A few days ago, when tried to play mp3 files, there are no audio coming from the speaker. The stange thing is that I am still able to create tts text message. The text audio outputs through the speaker. Mp3 files will not. Logs does not show any errors. I think one of the esphome updates has broken it. I would like to go back to a specific esphome only for this device config setup and not everyone of my devices. Is this possible? I am stuck at this point of how to troubleshoot.

There is an old saying in computing: “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it!”

Can you recall what version of esphome did you compile it with when it worked?

Not really. I normally just update the esphome via HA, but I don’t compile for each of the devices at the same time. Looking at the previous esphome version there was a fix for the i2s_audio on 2022.12.1. I am assume I had it working on 2022.12.0. I am currently compiled on 2022.12.8.

There is another issue with the I2S media player on ESPHome, but from that topic it looks like local mp3 media are fine. I can also testify that local media and text to speach working fine.
What is NOT working is external link like radio :frowning:
