Trying to upgrade from a 2021 release to the latest one, absolutely no idea whether this will work or not...

Originally I abandoned this install because the API I used to integrate a DIY addressable LED strip (controlled by a media player entity, changed colour to match the cover art) was removed and replaced with something else, and I didn't have time to redevelop it.

For a while its been possible to do something pretty similar with WLED - at that point I was just putting off the upgrades to not break anything 😅

At this point it's probably a better idea to re-install but let's see how this goes!

That's going to be a LOT of reading breaking changes.

That’s all I could think of. So many changes and things to repair

Honestly probably better to start from scratch. Backup yaml automations and scripts outside of Home Assistant and start over.
