Ok, that's weird. I had to set host in order for this to work again. It didn't need that before. Don't know why though, as it's quite logical that I should point HA where AVR is...I set this originally long, long time ago, at the beginning of learning HA and I don't remember how exactly it started to work back then. Anyway, feel free to close it if you feel there's nothing to add here or leave it if you think the optional host shouldn't be optional. ;)

media_player:
  - platform: yamaha
    host: !secret ip.avr
    zone_ignore:
      - "Zone_2"

Hi i think there is the same issue with version: Home Assistant 2022.10.3

`Integration causing the issue
media_player, platform: yamaha

`Example YAML snippet

media_player:
  - platform: yamaha
    host: 192.168.2.110

Put host ip directly to the config ;-)
