Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/1Remote/1Remote/issues/147

Originally assigned to: @VShawn on GitHub.

Describe the solution you'd like
Having NX (NoMachine) as a connection option. If I have nomachine service installed on a machine, I would like to use PRemoteM to connect to that machine using the NX protocol.

NX protocol seems to be much faster than xrdp for linux machines. It could be challenging to integrate, so I am interested on what you think.

Never heard about it.

Here is some quick info for others.

Why would I use this over standard RDP and friends

Hi I've considered FreeNX protocol when I create the demand planning at 2020.04.

https://github.com/VShawn/PRemoteM/projects/3#card-38295433

But afert some investigations, here are some challenges we meet:

1. open by command line

NoMachine client can start connection only by passing a config file to it.

2. password storage

In the file arm.nxs I didn't see a field storaged the password, but cmd .\nxplayer.exe D:\arm.nxs did not request me to enter a password. So we don't know how to genterate a NoMachine config file containing a password by PRemoteM.

3. Integer

cmd .\nxplayer.exe D:\arm.nxs will start a process A, then A will exit and start new process B (not a sub-process of process A) to show the remote desk window.

Then PRemoteM can not capture the PID of process B, which means we cannot integer NoMachine client window into the tab window of PRemoteM.

I‘m still looking for solutions for these challenges, no progress yet.

A new protocol: APP is add to the PRM: github.com/VShawn/PRemoteM@ea3ca701d7

so that you can assign the nxplayer.exe path and nomachin config file *.nxs, then start the connection with PRM

For now you have to create *.nxs by yourself in NoMachine

Annnnd since I dont find the solution to hosting then NX View in the PRM, so PRM will just open a new process of nxplayer, the NX-UI will not be integrated in my tab view

And here is the approach to create a *.nxs file, but I'm not intend to investigate if it is the correct approach.
