I know this isn't true accessibility but if I could use VoiceOver on my iPhone or TalkBack on my Android to swipe through the list of menus and video sources in various apps, then double tap on the item to get it to play on my TV, this would be reasonable. Also, one could write a very simple desktop XBMC helper app that would let you input stuff like repo sources, remote server connectivity info and whatnot into XBMC via config files. This way you could turn on the helper app, get the IP and port of the box the helper and XBMC is running on, put that info into the remote app, then enter info and check boxes necessary in the helper app to set up remote control, then save and apply the changes, launch XBMC and then launch the remote app and connect. The hypothetical remote app wouldn't do any good if it used arrow keys or mouse track pad stuff like the million other apps do but if it could intercept the menu text and the position you are at in the menu then a mobile device could maybe control XBMC. Just a thought, maybe thats harder than just implementing actual screenreader support. Anyway, I await any replies that may contribute to this idea. Thanks!
The official XBMC iOS remote in the App Store will do a pretty good job at navigating add-ons. You can get to a lot of content directly through it without having to use XBMC's TV interface.
