https://github.com/unclecode/crawl4ai/blob/0024c82cdcbd7c2d9e9e93ec40c8fec2563eff8f/crawl4ai/async_crawler_strategy.py#L491C46-L491C76

Is there any implementation for the _generate_screenshot_from_html() method under the AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy class in crawl4ai/async_crawler_strategy.py? I ran into an error when I'd set up this CrawlerRunConfig -

run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
    cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS,
    markdown_generator=DefaultMarkdownGenerator(
        content_filter=PruningContentFilter()
    ),
    wait_for_images=True,
    scan_full_page=True,
    scroll_delay=0.5,
    verbose=True,
    pdf=True,
    screenshot=True
)

which led to this error -
