Save Video does not work

[tmnguyen1403]

When I run the Playwright MCP with --save-video option, I encountered the following error "Browser specified in your config is not installed". However, if I run without it, it works just fine. Is there additional plugins need to be installed for video capture to work?

Run command causing error: "npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 --save-video=800x600 --caps=tracing"
Error: Browser specified in your config is not installed. Either install it (likely) or change the config.

Run command that work: "npx -y @playwright/mcp@latest --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080"

I also don't see the document option to specifying the location to save the video and video format.

You can save the video by using the output dir flag.
--output-dir=./output

you might have to run
npx playwright install
to install the latest compatible browsers.

Could you run npx playwright install ffmpeg and see if that helps?
