Direct Play Stuttering - What to look for in the Logs?

Whenever I play a movie on my FireTV there will almost always be a point where the movie stutters for a few seconds. Each time I have generated a log within a few minutes of a stutter, but I haven’t been able to find a smoking gun. I’m not really sure what I’m looking for.

It will only happen once or twice during a movie and it doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a 30 Mbps or 3 Mbps stream. It also doesn’t seem to matter if the video is encoded with x264 or x265 (direct play either way). No other users are streaming and the Unraid server is hardly doing anything at all, if anything, during playback.

Is there something I should be looking for in the logs? If this is an issue with my network, is there someway to diagnose?

Is there anything I could do to diagnose this issue?
