Don’t know what that device is but it’s not connecting securely / not able to do https.

To resolve.

  1. Install the Synology text editor app (Package Center) if not installed.
  2. Stop Plexd
  3. Open FileStation,
  4. Navigate to: PlexMediaServer/AppData/Plex Media Server
  5. Right-click Preferences.xml → Open with Text Editor
  6. Window pops open
  7. On the bottom line, carefully cursor through it looking for secureConnections=
  8. Carefully remove the entire secureConnections="x" preference and value.
  9. Save the file.
  10. Start PMS
  11. Reopen browser window to PMS.
  12. Restart player connection at device 192.168.70.8.
