I should have added a little more info related to this.<br>
<br>
I use Amazon's EC2 cloud quite a bit with x2go.<br>
<br>
My AWS EC2 server runs ubuntu 13.10 x64 and I have the x2goserver
installed on it with the xubuntu-desktop (re xfce desktop).<br>
<br>
However, on that server I think installing xubuntu-desktop must have
auto-magically installed "libjpeg-turbo-progs" because I did not
have to install it manually.<br>
<br>
My home PC has an 18Mbps downlink from the internet and a 3 Mbps
uplink (I use ATT uVerse).<br>
<br>
Now regards the X2GO client CONNECTION SETTINGS.<br>
<br>
Setting the Client to WAN <br>
<ul>
<li>logging into the AWS x2goserver's XFCE and then running
firefox I goto youtube and play a music video.</li>
<li>video is a bit choppy (I know that's subjective <g>).</li>
</ul>
<br>
Setting the Client to LAN (no compression)<br>
<ul>
<li>logging into the AWS x2goserver's XFCE and then running
firefox I goto youtube and play a music video.</li>
<li>
video is almost perfect - re less choppiness than with Client
set to WAN.</li>
</ul>
So at least in my experience whether you set the Client to WAN or
LAN "may" depend on your downlink speed from the remote x2goserver.<br>
If you have a fast enough WAN connection at your client you may find
doing no compression at all (re LAN) provides a better experience.<br>
<br>
Lastly, don't forget to consider what your "local" lan consists
of. If your Client PC is on a Wireless network and sharing that
Wireless network with <br>
multiple other Wireless network users you may find that your
wireless network is having a bigger impact on QoS of the video in
the remote desktop<br>
than the remote server, local PC or the WAN.<br>

I've used libturbo-jpeg for a couple years with x2go after I first
learned about it.<br>
<br>
You might check your Distro... but at least for Ubuntu I believe
libturbo-jpeg is the default installed by Ubuntu now.<br>

install "libjpeg-turbo-progs" separately </i></b><br>
<br>
On my Ubuntu 13.10 x64 system if I run Synaptic and search for
"libturbo" I find:<br>
<blockquote><b><i>Independent JPEG Group's JPEG runtime library
(dependency package) </i></b><br>
<b><i> </i></b><br>
<b><i>libjpeg8 dependency package, depending on libjpeg-turbo8.</i></b><br>

You might do the same on your Distro to find out what libjpeg is
being used today.<br>
