changes the suggested url from plex's "hosted" app to recommend the users server url

Description

This changes the suggested url from plex's hosted app I.E. https://app.plex.tv/desktop to recommend setting it to your servers fqdn for example https://your-servers-fqdn.com/web/index.html allowing you to have the users to click on the open in plex button when looking at media and have it open directly on the servers web app.

Poem

A bunny hops through Plex’s page,
With server paths now center stage.
The hosted link is named with care,
A clearer example waits right there.
Hop, hop—URLs bloom!
