I believe AVC/H.264 is better compression than what is used by the other
options.
I would very much like it if I did not have to select True Color or any of the
other options.
Is there a workaround or plan to make AVC/H.264 usable in Ubuntu 18.04?
I am using the remmina-ppa-team/remmina-next repo on Ubuntu 18.04, and
these are the packages I have installed
ii remmina 1.2.0-rcgit.29+dfsg-1ubuntu1
amd64 GTK+ Remote Desktop Client
ii remmina-common 1.2.0-rcgit.29+dfsg-1ubuntu1
all Common files for Remmina
ii remmina-plugin-rdp:amd64 1.2.0-rcgit.29+dfsg-1ubuntu1
amd64 RDP plugin for Remmina
ii remmina-plugin-secret:amd64 1.2.0-rcgit.29+dfsg-1ubuntu1
amd64 Secret plugin for Remmina
ii remmina-plugin-vnc:amd64 1.2.0-rcgit.29+dfsg-1ubuntu1

Title:
"your libfreerdp does not support h264"
Status in remmina package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When I try to connect via RDP, Remmina gives this error:
"You requested an h264 GFX mode for server <server name>, but your
libfreerdp does not support h264. Please check color depth settings."
However, (1) I don't see any color depth settings in Remmina GUI, and
(2) ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed. I have libx264-152 version
2:0.152.2854+gite9a5903-2.
