Fedora 28
Installed on client and server:
xpra-2.4.2-2.fc28.x86_64 xpra-udev-2.4.2-2.fc28.x86_64 xpra-html5-2.4.2-2.fc28.x86_64 xpra-codecs-freeworld-2.4.2-1.fc28.x86_64
ffmpeg, x264 etc are installed from rpmfusion.
Client command:
xpra start ssh://xxx@xxx.com --start-child=nautilus --encoding=h264 --exit-with-children
Connecting and the Nautilus window coming up is ok. In the xpra menu on the client, under Picture-Encoding, H264, VP9, VP8, MPEG4, WebP, H265, mpeg1, mpeg2 are all greyed out and unable to be selected. The tooltip popup says "H264 video codec (not available on this server)" when hovering the mouse above H264.
What needs to be done to get h264 encoding going??
