libmpv1 deprecated on Ubuntu 24.02 LTS/Linux Mint 22

[FlameSoulis]

Attempting to setup the build environment for this project requires libmpv1, which is no longer available as of Ubuntu 24.02 and, by extension, Linux Mint 22. Compiling with libmpv2 does work with a few warnings, but I have been unsuccessful in running the project, resulting in errors related to #228.

I have both symlinked and directly copied the assets folder in case the auto-detection did not work. This is being tested using x11/Cinnamon.

you can do a temporary fix by symlinking libmpv.so.1 to libmpv.so.2, ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpv.so.2 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmpv.so.1, at least for when you build it from source. Don't know what will happen for built binaries.
Still get the [1109/212414.801860:WARNING:resource_util.cc(94)] Please customize CefSettings.root_cache_path for your application. Use of the default value may lead to unintended process singleton behavior. which is worrisome and would like to know why.

The crash seems to be unrelated to the change to libmpv actually. Looks like CEF doesn't like some parameters, I'll need to investigate this a bit further. The warning about root_cache_path is something we should be able to remove too.

Anything I can do to provide more information or test? I'm a bit rusty when it comes to debugging, let alone in Linux.
