ElectronPlayer had been unmaintained and its repository archived since October 28, 2024.

It evidently had already been struggling to function for years, judging by the section titled "The Pain of Widevine" in its README file, and the last commit dates from October 9, 2021, over three years before the repository was archived.

All in all, it is a dead project that had been broken for years, and we shouldn't continue to support it in 25.05.

Part of #296939
