Application disables the OS Screensaver while playing video with MPlayer (console)

How to use:

1. Rename original `mplayer.exe` into `mplayer_orig.exe`
2. Download the `mplayer.exe` binary and store it in the mplayer folder
3. Run mplayer.exe as usual and pass the arguments.

How it works:

In order to disable the screensaver application calls the SetThreadExecutionState(ES_DISPLAY_REQUIRED) WinAPI function and then it executes the mplayer_orig.exe exactly with the same arguments as this process is created.
