YAML configuration is deprecated

[jo8be]

I was about to update to Alexa Media Player 5.0, but then read:
YAML configuration is deprecated. Users must manually remove alexa_media from configuration.yaml file and add the integration via UI to avoid warning messages and future failure.

That sounds threatening ... and I can't figure out what that means for my setup. I certainly did some copy/paste in the yaml.

Is there a more detailed explanation/documentation of that change so I can estimate, how likely it will break my setup and what exactly to do then.
I'm not so experienced with HA, as I touch it every 10 weeks or so to add or change something.

Update:
I think I confused configuration.yaml with automations.yaml. I have no mention of the media player in configuration.yaml, so I guess the update will cause no problems.
Update to 5.0 went fine, no problems (so far).

While YAML config is now officially deprecated, 5.0.0 doesn't prevent existing YAML setups from working but does issue a warning advising you to act now to avoid future failure. You should heed the warning and remove alexa_media: from configuration.yaml, restart and add the integration via UI Integrations.

I updated to version 5 and removed alexa_media: from configuration.yaml, restarted HA, but the integration was still there. If I remove alexa_media: from the configuration file, the integration stops working. What should I do? I also couldn't find where to edit the filters. Can you tell me how to configure them in this new version?

I'm somewhat confused by your question.

and removed alexa_media: from configuration.yaml, restarted HA, but the integration was still there.

Then...

If I remove alexa_media: from the configuration file, the integration stops working.

If you remove alexa_media from configuration.yaml and restart HA, the integration should not be working nor should it exist.
You then need to go to Settings > Devices & services (Integrations) and click on + ADD INTEGRATION.
After it's installed & working if you want to change the filters, click the integration in the UI and when it opens, select CONFIGURE.

On the other hand, it might be possible that after removing alexa_media from configuration.yaml, the entry it created in core.config_entries might still exist, in which case I'd expect to see it still listed as an already installed integration in the UI...
