I have owned a Popcorn Hour media streamer for a couple of years now, and been very impressed with it's support for pretty much any video file I throw at it.
I recently upgraded my NAS from a DroboShare to a Windows 7 Professional PC with the drobo attached directly.
Everything wa going swimmingly, but for some reason the PCH kept losing connection to the SMB share on the Win 7 machine. It kept giving me a "No content found" message whne connecting to the share.
When I browse to the share, I can see the server but the PCH reports that there are no shares on the PC. Other Windows clients have no problem accessing the shares.
If I rebooted the Popcorn Hour I got an "out of memory" error when accessing the server!

After much reading around, I started to despair.. turning off Homegroup didn't work, neither did wuninstalling Windows Live Login Assistant.
Eventually I spotted the following error in my event log:
Source: srv
Event ID: 2017
Level: Error
The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations.
Now I had something to trach down, and sure enough at the bottom of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897446.aspx
I found the follwoing instructions:
Set HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size to 3
Womder of wonders, the issue has now been fixed!
