The workaround is to choose a Color Depth which does not require H264 (GFX RFX, RFX, 32bpp or 16bpp, or one which works), save it as default, save the profile and connect.

Please try this fix till they add any support. Go to remmina -> (+) button -> basic (tab) -> set 'color depth = 256 colours (8 bbp)'.

add "server name" and "address". and hit "save and close".
