Opening new thread as previous one was hijacked.

Goal: control squeezebox player (Raspberry Pi running server and player)
from an android tablet (a cheap Amazon Fire 8HD from Black Friday) and
have the same display experience as it is with a SB Touch
- show the SB Now Playing (or whatever) whilst playing music;
- show clock/screensaver when player is paused

So far I've tried using android App Fully kiosk-browser
(https://www.ozerov.de/fully-kiosk-browser/). It allows (with the full
version) to configure any app/URL to be used as a screensaver.
Problem is that it checks for user interaction to decide when the
screensaver must be triggered (I need the screensaver not to be
triggered when the SB player is playing even if there is no user
interaction for a long time; screensaver should be triggered only if
player is in pause state).

Hence, l started to look into Tasker hoping it would allow me to
simulate user touching screen periodically. I don't discard Tasker alone
will suffice for my purpose.

Next step: find how to let Tasker know whether SB player is playing or
paused.

PS: to install Google Play Store and Fully kiosk-browser as well as Nova
launcher, I've followed instructions in
