How-To Fix Playwright: Changedetection: updating to 0.50.5 breaks Playwright Chrome fetcher

[xyzulu]

See: #5616

This has been fixed for new installs. For existing installs you need to:

Edit: /etc/systemd/system/changedetection.service

Change:

Environment=PLAYWRIGHT_DRIVER_URL=ws://localhost:3000/chrome?launch={"defaultViewport":{"height":720,"width":1280},"headless":false,"stealth":true}&blockAds=true

to

Environment=PLAYWRIGHT_DRIVER_URL=ws://localhost:3000/chrome?launch=eyJkZWZhdWx0Vmlld3BvcnQiOnsiaGVpZ2h0Ijo3MjAsIndpZHRoIjoxMjgwfSwiaGVhZGxlc3MiOmZhbHNlLCJzdGVhbHRoIjp0cnVlfQ==&blockAds=true

Then restart the changedetection service and the issue will be resolved.
