I got tired of the windows screen saver coming on while watching videos
during movies on mplayer. I decided to build a little batch file to
work around it. It turned out to be 3 (short) files but I was wondering
if it could get intergrated into the source for other peoples enjoyment.
mplayer.bat
set run=%~dp0 #makes var for current dir that
mplayer ran from
regedit /s %run%ssoff.reg #turns off screen saver for current
user via reg key
%run%mplayer.exe %* #runs mplayer, passing command line
options
regedit /s %run%sson.reg #turns screen saver back on
ssoff.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="0"
sson.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"ScreenSaveActive"="1"
Thats about it... so if theres some way to make thoes changes within the
normal program then it would be cool. =)
