It is still tedious with Windows, but better than it used to be.
As for movies ... Playing movies in iTunes on the PC is not for the faint of
heart.
If you have a movie with video description, be sure that under iTunes settings
on the Playback tab, the checkbox for Play Audio Description when available is
checked. Open setting with Control+apostrophe and tab to the General tab, then
right arrow or press control+tab to go toplayback settings. Tab to that
checkbox and make sure it is checked.
Tab to OK and hit enter when done.
In the main iTunes window, tab to the music button and press space and arrow
down to Movies and press enter.
Here is the part that requires patience.
After selecting movies, tab and you will go through the following:
Library radio button checked
Unwatched radio button not checked
Store radio button not checked
Library Sidebar Tree view
Things change depending on which one of the choices above are checked, I leave
mine on Library. When you get to the Library side bar, you can arrow up and
down through how you want your movies organized. Things like:
Genres
Home Videos
Downloaded
Movies
Recently Added
Once you are on the one you want, tab through:
Movie Playlists Button
Show Button
table
When you get to Table, for me it is showing as a grid. I think that is the
default.
Now, depending on how many movies you have, you can right arrow through the
first row, then I would left arrow back to the first one, then down arrow to
row two, and again right arrow through that row.
Of course, you could also down arrow at the end of row 1 and then left arrow
back through row 2.
Once you find the movie you want to play, press shift+f10 or your context menu
key and you have choices:
Context Menu
Download
Mark as Unwatched
Add to Playlist sub menu
Play "movie title"
Movie Info
Love
Dislike
Uncheck Selection
Show in iTunes Store
Copy
Paste
Delete from Library
Obviously, you want to play the movie.
Hit enter on Play.
Once it starts playing, the spacebar will pause and you can tab through the
following:
play Button
next Button
Play iTunes Extras Button
full screen Button
0:28
left right slider
0.3 percent
-2:36:46
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
volume left right slider
87 percent
previous Button
Then back to the play Button
I hope that helps.

Subject: iTunes on a PC
I know that years ago iTunes was not very accessible on a Windows PC. Is this
still the case, or has accessibility improved? I'm using NVDA.
Also, if I wanted to watch a movie on my PC that I bought through
iTunes, can it be watched directly through iTunes or would I need to
download some app in order to watch it on the PC? (needless to say, I
have no experience with iTunes on a computer so unsure what is involved)
Thanks,
Sarah
