[BUG] Playwright grabengine (tvtv.ca/tvtv.us) fails to launch on Alpine — glibc/musl incompatibility not resolvable even with workarounds

Reproduisez l’échec avec l’image linuxserver/webgrabplus et inspectez le journal du conteneur à l’emplacement /config/WebGrab++.log.txt. Commencez par le Dockerfile de l’image et le chemin du pilote Playwright /config/.playwright/node/linux-x64/node, en vous concentrant sur l’échec du lancement dans l’image actuelle basée sur Alpine. La tâche est terminée lorsque tvtv.ca.ini ou tvtv.us.ini grabengine lance un navigateur headless et récupère les données EPG.

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

Site configs that use WebGrab+Plus's playwright.browser.* grabengine (e.g.
tvtv.ca.ini, tvtv.us.ini) fail to launch on the current Alpine-based image:
[Error] Failed to create Playwright: [Error] An error occurred trying to start process '/config/.playwright/node/linux-x64/node' with working directory '/app/wg++/bin.net'. No such file or directory

Expected Behavior

being able to use playwright for channels that need it.

Steps To Reproduce

5. Check /config/WebGrab++.log.txt inside the container

Expected: WebGrab+Plus launches a headless browser (Chromium/Firefox, via
Playwright) and grabs EPG data from the tvtv.ca/tvtv.us channel(s).

Actual: on first use, WebGrab+Plus downloads the Playwright driver
successfully, then fails immediately when trying to launch it:
