Thanks for the investigation Nate.
nb. This is not just about KMplayer (that was an example) but about many of the
apps links from https://kde.org/applications/
Should non-updated/deprecated apps or their non-working links be removed from
https://kde.org/applications/? Or at least a 'Currently not available for
Disco/Bionic' warning be added to the https://kde.org/applications/ page for
that software?
It could be argued that having dead apps or links on the KDE website does not
inspire confidence for potential new users of Plasma investigating what is
available.
