Can a Plex client play a DirectPlay stream from a remote (non plex server) location? I have a Plex server which is accessed through wifi, and also an external hard disk which is directly connected to my router. If I stream high bitrate 4k content (Direct Play), the bandwidth might not be sufficient.

 I wondered if for DirectPlay the server could be smart enough to tell the client to get the content straight from the remote location (network hard disk) instead of passing through the server itself as the origin?

This way the playback would not be confined by the wifi bottleneck in the distant room.

(Btw, a dlna server would work exactly as described, but I'd rather use the Plex client which is nicer than the tv's built in dlna client, in terms of interface, features, etc.)
