Screen going black when idle Screensaver disabled Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2023 - GnatGoSplat - 2024-10-20
Using Kodi Omega 21.1 on an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max 2023. The screen going black when idle after a couple minutes when a video is paused. Both the Kodi screensaver is disabled and Ambient Experience is also disabled. Whenever it goes black, pressing BACK on the remote will return to Kodi, but it takes a long time (guessing 10-20 seconds). It's extra frustrating for the wife as she'll hit back half a dozen times trying to get it to do something and completely back out of the paused video. We would rather it never do this. Using an LCD TV so not worried about burn-in.
It was doing the same thing on my OG Fire TV Stick 4K Max as well, so it's not just this specific device. Any ideas?

That is just fire os sleep mode
It can be disabled using adb, just use google for how to do it

I read about sleep mode, but that defaults to 15-minutes so I didn't think that would be it. Didn't time it, but I'm almost certain it's less than 5-minutes and if I had to guesstimate, I would say 1-2 minutes.
