You have the choice between disabling/removing AMP or having a crashing HA until a fix for AMP is rolled out - if or whenever that comes.

I will restore the backup now and don't install the alexa media player update
sour pond
can we just disable it?
magic verge
That may not help, just roll it back or remove it
sour pond
disable seems to be good so far
patent briar

No guarantee this will fix it of course, but there is an open PR that does claim to fix it if you wanna keep an eye on it: https://github.com/alandtse/alexa_media_player/pull/2580
I personally downgraded it in between HA core restarts (if you're fast, you can do it)
And make sure you restart the whole system. In my case it was still using 100% of a CPU core and consuming ram after a HA core restart.

never downgraded an integration before (instead of restoring from a full backup), might you have pointers on how to do that?
short echo
If you can get into HACs you could select the version
But it's really time to move away from this integration when you can. It's been years of an unofficial method that Amazon does not support and never intends to. Echoes are not media players. This makes them into fake media players for Home Assistant and even then they still can't play local media. It's really breaking down often at this point.

i wish i could but family uses Alexa ton and we have some very custom routines that require AMP. i'll jump as soon as a viable alternative shows up but for now i'll have to ride it til it breaks. thanks for the help though!

I use this integration for the temperature sensor support for echo's ... I need it figure out if that is supported by some other method.
short echo
yeah but there are so many other options for temperature and humidity etc.
@pure ivy are you sure you use amp for custom routines? or do you mean the Alexa integration? what do those look like?
@formal dagger It's easy for me to say...because I own exactly one echo dot over the past 10 years and never really entered into the ecosystem, so I do get it.
I use it to know when packages have arrived 😆
and to "thank my driver"
formal dagger
heheh, yea, and I'm a very much a power user who doesn't mind when things are a little broken

We have various scripts and automations like timers and routines for the kids that involve sending commands to alexa (tts, playing certain songs, etc)
