Stuttering on playback

OK...I think I have figured out why this was happening.  I set the server up using a wired connection that was via a powerline connection.  I can only assume the copper electrical lines could not handle the amount of data.  I switched my server to wireless and everything works just fine.  I would still like to have used a wired connection but whatever.  It works and my wife is happy so that's all that matters right.  Thanks to all who worked with me on this problem.

Many years ago I tried Powerline, didn't work well. I now use Moca adapters (Multi Media over Coax) with existing TV coax, works very well, still using them to get to two rooms I can't get Ethernet to. Co-exists with TV signals. This is what your going to need.

I can't remember, I think you can place up to six of these adapters on one coax loop.

Depending on your router and the size of your media you should be fine on wifi as long as you don't have too many users. 1 or 2 users should be fine but a wired connection would be a better choice if your able to but as long as it work don't worry about it.
