This is a huge huge request for plex developers, please add STRM support back into Plex.  
People with huge libraries using gdrive as a source would love this feature.  
Emby allready added this feature and its starting to get a lot of attention since it did, because there are scripts that just passthrough the STRM to the client, thus getting rid of transcoding, wasting precious resources, and everything gets direct played.  
Hope Plex developers see this and give it a try.
