Thanks for your help.

Settings -> Services -> SMBclient -> Minimum = V1, Maximum = V3

If you leave the minimum at 0 it doesn't seem to pickup the range correctly. Just looks like a bug in the code.

Thanks for replying. It is not a big issue since users can easily personnalize their kodi user files; and as you say, this is a feature found on shield. But I'm technically curious to understand what happened.
Once fixed, this could help others android boxes developpers to add it to their ATV Os.

After the upgrade, Kodi (Android) no longer can see netwok resources using SMB. In previous versions, you would see "WORKGROUP" and then drill down to the resource you wanted.

If you select the file shortcut that were migrated from V18, you get the the error "Software caused connection aborted".

Is this a known problem? Is there a fix in the pipeline?

Settings -> Services -> SMBclient -> Minimum = V1, Maximum = V1.

Another Nvidia Shield user with mounted network storage experiencing similar issues ( network folders mounted in the shield settings not showing up under "Files" in Kodi 19 when they did in Kodi 18).

One detail that may be helpful: I set up the library to automatically update in 18. And... it still does under 19! I can see the episodes/movies I add to my shares on my PC in the "recently added" sections, and play them fine from there! So, wild semi-uninformed guess here: could the issue specific to the Shield-mounted network storage not be related to SMB ? Or could it be a different SMB issue?

I'm not sure why this is happening, having SMB should be standards and I don't know why it is getting more complicated each time.

This is the step I took and got it to working.

• Go to setting > service
  
• Enable Expert mode
  
• Set min requirement to SMBv1 (you need to restart and come back)
  
• Set max requirement to SMBv1 (you need to restart and come back)
  

At this stage you will be able to connect SMB now but got stuck in user/pass. This doesn't work with non-user/pass folder.
If you want to access the folder then do the step below:

• After the above setting, Now Legacy mode will be available turn it ON (you need to restart and come back)
  
• DONE!
  

Now if you have the previous folder configuration, then this should fix it for you immediately.
But if you are new user, then you need to re add the directory again (smb://YOUR server IP) and then go in and add each shared folder one by one.

Also on the step above I did setup the workgroup to be the same one as my server and also setup WINS server to the same IP address as my router/gateway.


That's it, hope this help.
Hope this help.
