Server Version#: PlexMediaServer-1.16.2.1321-ad17d5f9e-x86_64.spk
Player Version#: All
Installation of this update to my synology NAS server broke the connection between the disk and the server effectively killing all utility. All media simply showed up in the app as Unavailable to play.
Reversion to the PlexMediaServer-1.15.3.876-ad6e39743-x86_64.spk from April fixed issue.
I have modified your alarmist thread title until it can be investigated.
If what you asserted were true, none of us would be able to use that version on our Synology systems.

Security improvements for Plex users on Synology
Our records indicate that you've recently run a Plex Media Server install on a Synology NAS, so we wanted to let you know about a change that's been made related to our Synology package.
Starting with Plex Media Server v1.15.4.994, we altered our package to no longer require "Administrator" permissions, which makes it more secure for you. In some rare cases, though, this might mean that the server no longer has permission to access or see your actual media content (depending on how you set up the access permissions).
Luckily, this is a quick and simple fix for you to get things working again, if you are affected. You can find detailed information and instructions in our forum topic about this change.
If you haven't yet upgraded your server to the new version, you can still make the changes outlined in the forum topic so that you're prepared ahead of time. Thanks for using Plex!

The TL;DR is " It behaves that way on purpose "
