Unable to connect to local Plex on Synology if "Secure Connections" is set to required

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Server Version#: Synology 1.15.3.876
Player Version#:Synology 1.15.3.876

If Plex is set to Settings > Network > Secure Connections: Required, then connection to Plex from Synology Menu > Plex Media Server doesn’t work.

It attempts to open a connection to "http://192.168.85.100:32400/web/index.html
but http:// connections are rejected. If I manually change the URL to https://, I get a certificate error, and if I accept the certificate, I’m able to connect.

If Plex is set to require Secure Connections, the Plex Media Server menu choice should open to https:// and not http://

Honestly I doubt that will happen, but it is not my call.

I would just bookmark http://192.168.85.100:32400/web/index.html in your browser (should be able to make shortcut on desktop as well) or preferably use https://app.plex.tv/desktop (Since it is almost always a newest version of the web app and will have features first)
