Hi,

I am quite new to Plex and it has been working fine for the past few weeks. However for a few days, all videos have been buffering quite a bit and the quality has been very degraded. I am using Plex on Samsung Smart TV and my library is on an external hard drive. I can’t seem to understand the [server log](https://support.plex.tv/articles/200250417-plex-media-server-log-files/) so if someone could help that would be great.

Thanks for your help.
