Posting on an old thread to give an answer as to what I found in case anyone finds this in a search. Bitmap was correct in that the issue ended up being Wifi related. It was difficult to track it down because the device would bounce around between APs, but it did end up being network issues in the end. The Fire Stick was in a TV stand and I suppose due to the walls of the stand it would often switch to another AP that's further away. When that happened the network speeds would drop too low to maintain playback on high-quality videos. I repositioned the stick such that it will always stay connected to the closer AP and everything has been fine since.
