You might spoof the initialization of the Server by editing your Build.prop (Root necessary).
But (Android) PMS was specifically tailored to the Nvidia Shield (first device to support hardware transcoding). So transcoding won't work on another architecture and even Direct play is highly doubtful.
Not to mention that your Nexus 6P or Sony TV don't have the computing power that the Shield has, so it will be a shit experience anyway (it's already pretty slow on the Shield).

No point in doing so no other hardware out currently that could work
