Playing network file from client?

On my sagetv server I setup the media library to use a network share. So I was wondering when a sagetv client plays a file from the media library, will it open it directly from the network share or will it stream it through the sagetv server?

Yes.

If the SageTV Client PC has direct access to the file (example: if using UNC paths for the import dirs, the client needs to be able to see the path & have permission to access it), then it will play it directly. If the client cannot access the file directly, then the file is streamed via the server.
