ALL of my Alexa Media Players show STANDBY unless they're actively playing:

When they're actively playing:

After asking "Alexa, play Country Christmas from SiriusXM on Echo Show 8"...

[danielbrunt57]

Is this in Music Assistant?? Have you added the speakers?

[ZCdenheijer]

Same here with a Echo (4th Generation). In standby mode.

Also not able to send TTS message, is not playing the message.

[nephrotranz]

That's absolutely normal, they are always in standby mode, they never go "off".
What I find more annoying is, that when you say "Alexa, stop" when playing music, they sometimes stay in "paused" mode for hours, before they go into the standby mode.

[coolhansen]

@nephrotranz The problem is not "STANDBY instead OFF", the problem is "STANDBY unless they're actively playing". I have the same issue

Talk to Amazon. The state of the media_player is what it is as it is provided by Amazon.
