It seems that xplayer was abandoned after the last release in 2022. It is not present in the LM 22 repos. Maybe you still have a version installed from LM21?
I would expect the change in the default app to be mentioned in the release notes, but I can't find anything on the removal of the package in LM22: https://linuxmint.com/rel_wilma.php
I was actually wondering what else they might have removed from the repos (if anything) so I can find a replacement for it first, thanks tho ๐
Yes, that makes sense. Unfortunately, as far as I know, Mint doesn't provide a list of obsolete or deprecated packages. Even the upstream Ubuntu release notes (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/ubuntu-24-04-lts-noble-numbat-release-notes/39890 for 24.04 / LM 22) don't list removed packages.
What you can do after the upgrade is query for obsolete packages on your system using
apt list ?obsolete. It's generally recommended to remove those.
