Option to disable screen blanking
In X the joystick input doesn't get intercepted so the screen blanks during play.
It would be nice if the xset workaround was built into this launcher.

I don't want to include platform-dependant code into AEL. Kodi has its own screensaver, so I think the best solution is to execute xset -dpms s off
in the script that initialises Kodi.
Another solution is to use a wrapper shell script, like the guy who answer's the question suggests.
I suggest you try joystickwake, a program written specifically to solve this kind of issue.
