There is a beta, that's all I know; someone else here may have more info.

You need to install new CODECs to see your videos. You can download a free CODEC pack for your player, or you can get another player with CODECs installed. Either method is free and easy. (I installed the Windows CODEC pack from download.com) Learn more here http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...ad-issues.html Be sure to read the info from Lord of the Rings.

AFAIK there's no Beta out now. The last Beta I know of was 4.18.1.

Normally, when there's a Beta out, you'll see a 'get Beta' button on the LW download page... there isn't one on the page at the moment

Normally if a beta is available it would be found at Lime Wire » Download LimeWire Beta. Also a link leading to it from the download page & those with Pro would have a link to their pro version beta on their download page, but seems it's not publicly available at moment. It might be more of an alpha than a beta.

I am aware LW 5.0 is not too far away from being released, whilst I say that it still might be a while.

Also .. normally beta versions have 'odd' version numbers, such as 4.13, 4.15, 4.17, etc. so we would presume next beta would be 4.19.x.
