AE to AME connection problem - Could not read from the source.

Hi

I have not been able to render using Adobe Media Encoder for several months now with the error message below. From AE it's not possible to do "add to Adobe Media Encoder" via the menu, I can only get the file to appear in AME using the Queue in AME button in the Render Queue, however I then can't render it and it shows the yellow exclamation mark error message (below).

There are many suggestions from people with this problem, however none of these workarounds have solved my issue (delete cache, remove plugins, change permissions). I am on Big Sur 11.6/AE and AME 22.11 and the problem started after my last update to a newer AE back in October.

Any suggestions?
