Weird Issue with Some .flv files when plex plays "next" episode

Using windows 10 with a powerful desktop computer as my server - connected to a 3 tb hard drive. I have a tv show that consists mostly of .flv files. I'm using Roku stick and when I start a TV show, I always use the "Play all" on the on screen display, so that it plays each episode until I stop it, completely skipping the "next up countdown screen", But what is happening is this: when an episode is over and it goes to the next episode, you see it loading 13%, 33%, then you get an error saying Plex cannot find the file, make sure the media is available in your server, then you can choose YES or NO to try to play it again, and it plays perfectly... So it's not as if Plex has a problem playing the file, it's the first attempt it has a problem with. It's almost as if it's not giving the hard drive enough time come out of idle to start that episode, and by the time I try to play it again, the hard drive is now spinning and plex plays it instantly with no problems. But I'm only seeing this behavior with FLV files... Should I convert all flv files to something else?

I'm relatively new to Plex so still learning. Overall I love it :) Thanks
