Now that Kodi Krypton is into beta it is time to look into Estuary changes.

Does this version require Kodi Krypton?

[mvallevand]

No. The advantage to Krypton is playing and skipping in-progress recordings. I might add a custom live tv method I was using during the Olympics, it automatically recorded shows and deleted them on exit so I could timeshift.

If you don't like Estuary a user Confluence skin is available.

Are there any changes that affect the web client or are these changes all for the native client?

[mvallevand]

The playback modes should work in web client. You can use m3u8 on devices that don't support mpeg2video or are low bandwidth and timeshift if you want to seek live tv need 8000 ms for pre-buffer. I used this a lot in the Olympics. Also with newer silicon dust tuners you can stream live tv directly taking the burden off NextPVR.

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. The only way to use the Alpha is to download the zip file.
