Not at all, I should have mentioned this in the more detailed release notes on the subject of "removing legacy code": 0.15 dropped support for the Debian libav fork of ffmpeg, so there is no h264 decoding out of the box any more. > I am running xpra 0.15 on both server and client, both running ubuntu > 14.04 (server is 64 bit and client is 32 bit).

FYI: only decoding has been removed, the h264 encoder should still be present since we use x264 library directly, you can verify this with: xpra start --encoding-help > Do I need to install additional packages and configure xpra server and > client somehow to use H264 encoding? No, but you can: * switch to VP9 instead - which has similar characteristics, if not better (and ignore the warnings about it being too slow - it isn't any longer, as long as your server is running 0.15 or later) * upgrade to Ubuntu 14.10, 15.04 or later which support the newer ffmpeg codec and have h264 decoding out of the box * stick to the 0.14.x branch
