Wow, this is really nice and most things are working nicely. Thank you so much.
Funnily enough, kodi is now the easiest – native – way for me to copy files from smb/cifs shares.

There are some navigational dead ends (for example displaying an image slideshow which I normally never use), but navigating using Kodimote works. As a plus, it looks pretty funny remote controlling Kodi on a Tablet located right in front of you from a phone.

Using a local Kodimote, it's possible to have cover actions, by the way, if you don't mind the slight cumbersomeness of it.

Regarding the display switching off, here's a bit of a shameless plug:
My sleep timer (see signature) works okay using either (not both simultaneously) Kodimote or manual Kodi configuration in the settings. It has an option to keep the display lit while active, which tends to get confused if another application tries to do the same, but Kodi obviously does not.
I have not tested the arm version of Kodi but I'm pretty confident all this applies to it as well.

cheers

edit: To use Kodimote or slumber, you need to enable services→webserver and services→remote control in Kodi, which, depending on your network/configuration, might be a slight security risk, because Kodi is not designed to be secure in this regard.
