I am running NoMachine server on Arch Linux and connecting it from NoMachine client on Windows10. I have set the encoding H.264 in server preference but it always picks up VP8 irrespective of my settings.

How can i enable H264 encoding on server and decoding in client?

H.264 will be used by default if: (i) the hardware or software H.264 encoder is available on server-side and (ii) the HW or SW H.264 decoder is present on client-side.

If neither the server nor any of the clients support H.264, VP8 will be used as a fallback.

So you should make sure you have the appropriate libraries built on the server side if you are using the free version. The free version doesn't ship them.

    I did exactly what you have described. I did not know the fact that I have to compile the codecs provided by nomachine. After I compiled codecs nomachine used H264 and I am observing a performance boost. – david Mar 13 '18 at 08:47
