Additional information

In order to resolve the problem temporarily, I have to remove the unavailable media player from "Home Assistant Media Players" in Music Assistant save, then reload the music assistant integration and re-add it back to "Home Assistant Media Players" in Music assistant.

It may just be that I just need to reload the integration but there seems to be a problem regardless as this has happened every time I turn it off and leave the Voice assistant PE device off over night.

I have also noticed that the entity is now using the friendly _name value converted to all lower case with _ instead of spaces as the enity_id. Which it was not doing before.

I have another voice assistant PE device that rarely gets turned off and it stays available to music assistant.

See image above with explanation in the image

For completeness the notes in the image says:

1. This entity has renamed itself overnight after being powered off. It is now not available in unpowered devices.
2. I have to unselect the dead media player (in point1) and save "Home Assistant MediaPlayers", restart the "Music Assistant" add-on, media player in point 1 disappears. Then I go back into "Home Assistant MediaPlayers" select the media player (point 2). Now it is in the list of players to choose from and will work until tomorrow or when I have powered the device off for a prolonged period of time perhaps overnight.
