have a popcorn hour c 300 about 3 years . like it very much sound and blue ray's play great but have one problem.
let me explain my system then the problem. Have external hard drives connected to my windows 7 computer. have my movies organized on the drive by subject (comedy, adventure) for each of these folders I allow sharing with full permission to my network. I then have a wired connection to my popcorn box via a hub. From the popcorn I see the files then select the movies I want to play. Do this with blue rays and regular dvd's . they play great sound and picture. the blue rays are formatted in iso the dvd some iso some dvd format all play just great sound and audio.
problem. at times the box cannot see the share! this happens at times and I see no pattern. For years I have fixed the problem by rebooting my computer the share always come back. When the shares go away from my computer I see them and from the other computer on my network I can access the windows 7 computer and the movies from the computer. So far I have not found any way to restore the movie shares except rebooting the system.. tried rebooting the popcorn hour and the router the shares will not restore.
has any one had this issue with the popcorn hour or if its an issue that will not be fixed on the c300 do you know if getting the latest box will solve my problem. would like to upgrade to the new box because it will stream 3d but not if this issue continues with the new software.
Please Help
