    How can I check that the hardware encoding is using in the server side and hardware decoding is used on the client side?

    There is mentioned the AVC pack.

    I connect from Win7 to a Ubuntu Server.

    Okay, where are the C-*/session logs placed?

    Linux host, Windows client

    On Linux, look for /usr/NX/var/log/node/C-* and you will see a line like “Using H.264 hardware encoding” or in “H.264 software encoding”. On the client side, for Windows, the path will be something like this: C:/Users/username/.nx and there will be list of session folders with the session files inside.

    We are planning to make this information about H.264 available in the user interface in a future version to make it easier for the user to check what type of H.264 (HW or SW) is being used.

    On the Linux server you can also check the session files in /usr/NX/var/log/node/C-* by executing:

    grep -i encod /usr/NX/var/log/node/C-*/sessionĀ

    Okay, on the server I got following messages:

    Info: Using Nvidia H.264 hardware encoder.

    On the client I could not find any string with “H.264” in it… Does it mean the client do not use H.264 hardware decoding on the client?

    Can you send us the complete set of logs from the Windows client? You can either submit them here if they’re not too large, or you can send them to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com. Server side logs as well would be useful. That way we can take a look at what’s going on both sides.
