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.

This is totally incorrect for Linux Kodi 19.0.  On UBUNTU and Endless OS (Debian Linux) there is no SMB protocol in settings -> Services to change the version of.  There is also no SMB connection options for videos, music, etc...  It's totally GONE!

All my shared drives are now inaccessible from Kodi 19.0 on these OSs.  It's not related to Samba versions or passwords.

My question is WHY!  And.. WHY is there such confusion on this?  It may work in Windows or Mac, but not Debian Linux builds.

Was also getting strange frame drops or micro stutter with playback on 19 (all settings were set correctly, refresh rate on etc).
Gone back to 18.9. Smooth as silk.
Will try Matrix again after a few revisions but currently it seems like a deeply flawed update on Android.

Use the following path when you add a new source:
/storage/SMB Shared Device Name/Shared Folder Name/

In my case, it looks something like this:
/storage/PC-Name/E/

I already tried that.

You sure your Shield has successfully mounted the drives? Bear in mind the path is case sensative. If you are not certain you can try to add /storage/.

As has now been stated many times, Kodi itself does not auto-update. Any updates to the Kodi app are being done either by the Google Play Store, or whatever equivalent store or app manager is installed/configured on the device. You will need to go into the store app and disable auto-updating there.

The only thing Kodi itself can/will do is notify you when new versions are available (if the addon to do so is installed and enabled), but it will not do it for you.
