And now something I am not sure about so I'll rather ask. Is there a way to query what's currently being played? I mean when full screen video is shown or when audio is playing with visualization on top? I would expect to have a keyboard command which when pressed would cause Kodi screen reader to report what's currently being played. It would be even cooler if it might present current EPG entry along with the channel name when TV or Radio is playing. Is something like this already available or is this good candidate for a feature request? The idea behind this is that we keep Kodi running on the our HTPC all day long and everyone is free to play whatever he / she likes. As I listen to something I would like to also play in future or I would rather like not to hear it in the future I would use this to quickly see what's currently playing.

I had the idea to have it speak the currently playing item when it is paused. It's in the new version. Check it out and tell me what you think. I will add a keyboard command if you still want it, but if it's not needed I would like to avoid adding it.
This method is nice because a) it's paused so you can actually hear the spech and b) it will work on things like remotes and such.
