curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -i http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Settings.SetSettingValue","params":{"setting":"screensaver.mode","value":"none"},"id":"1"}'

Let's imagine you are using "Black" as the screensaver in use:

curl -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -i http://127.0.0.1:8080/jsonrpc --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Settings.SetSettingValue","params":{"setting":"screensaver.mode","value":"screensaver.xbmc.builtin.black"},"id":"1"}'

to check for the "value" you have to enter, simply take a look at guisettings.xml to see what is set if you manually turn the screensaver off or set a value to it.

The post above was written in 2020. Kodi 18.x was the stable release at that time. Maybe I tested with Kodi 19 master compiled on my own but, tbh, I can't remember anymore. 

python:
    def check_screensaver(self):

        '''Allow user to disable screensaver on fullscreen music playback'''

        if getCondVisibility(

                "Window.IsActive(visualisation) + Skin.HasSetting(SkinHelper.DisableScreenSaverOnFullScreenMusic)"):

            if not self.screensaver_disabled:

                # disable screensaver when fullscreen music active

                self.screensaver_disabled = True

                screensaver_setting = kodi_json('Settings.GetSettingValue', '{"setting":"screensaver.mode"}')

                if screensaver_setting:

                    self.screensaver_setting = screensaver_setting

                    kodi_json('Settings.SetSettingValue', {"setting": "screensaver.mode", "value": None})

                    log_msg(

                        "Disabled screensaver while fullscreen music playback - previous setting: %s" %

                        self.screensaver_setting, xbmc.LOGINFO)

        elif self.screensaver_disabled and self.screensaver_setting:

            # enable screensaver again after fullscreen music playback was ended

            kodi_json('Settings.SetSettingValue', {"setting": "screensaver.mode", "value": self.screensaver_setting})

            self.screensaver_disabled = False

            self.screensaver_setting = None

            log_msg(

                "fullscreen music playback ended - restoring screensaver: %s" %

                self.screensaver_setting, xbmc.LOGINFO)
