Describe the bug

Alexa Media Player fails to find devices after a configuration is setup

To Reproduce

1. Setup a new configuration
2. Entered my configuration (email, password, region=amazon.co.uk, my built-in 2FA secret)
3. Click Submit to validate config
4. Verify 2FA code is valid / in-sync with 2FA app
5. Login via amazon.co.uk / pass 2FA step
6. Configuration is added to HA but fails to discover devices

Expected behavior

I would expect the custom component to find and list devices if has found, registered to my Alexa/Amazon account.

Hi, can somebody answer this? I have the same issue and is has been bugging me for the past 2 weeks!

[github-actions[bot]]

This bug report has been labelled as help wanted since there has been no activity in the last 3 weeks. It will not be closed automatically.

Not sure if this will help someone, but I encountered a similar issue and resolved by manually creating the following directory: config/www/alexa_tts

I then removed and re-added the integration.

[tplas]

Wow! That did indeed do the trick, to create that folder. Nice magic incantation there.

Even better, it found all my old devices & hooked them back up to my automations. I had resigned myself to needing to re-enter all of those after they had gotten lost on my AMP HACS integration version updatee.

Thank you!

What do you mean with "creating a directory" where and how? 😅

[ukgrant]

@JaySpec1488 There's a few ways you can do this and it will depend on your installation type. I am using home assistant OS, so used the addon store to install the "file editor". Using the file editor, create a folder called "www" (if it doesn't already exist) then inside that create a folder called "alexa_tts"

Mhh, seems like that i already have this folder... so i have another issue that the integration finds nothing. But my log says something about that... crazy... 🙃 But thank you. @

@JaySpec1488 You have created in the wrong place. config/config/www/alexa_tts should be config/www/alexa_tts.

Also I think the latest version just released v4.7.1 resolves this issue anyway, so can try updating or removing & reinstalling.

I am am v4.7.1 and still had the issue. This solution also worked for me. Thanks!
