I installed the development build for Matrx (https://mirrors.kodi.tv/nightlies/android/arm64-v8a/Matrix/) and it works fine.
Hope to have official release with this fix soon. But so far, for two days, I have no issue with the development build( kodi-20210411-0d1f616c-Matrix-arm64-v8a.apk ).

This should be part of 19.1, just released: https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-matrix-191-release

SMB is broken in v19. VLC has managed to get this working, hopefully Kodi can do the same.

It's not broken, it just takes a different setup
I have got it working on 3 boxes now, almost the very same as before, just different.

Check my previous posts.

The prompt to select the SMB share is not what you want. You need to go to add network location and then select SMB for the protocol. This way works.

I put my money where my mouth is and donated $15 - I am super pleased that Kodi has a functioning fast forward / fast rewind button. I've been looking forward this feature for a dedicated Android / Google TV app for the newest Chromecast and I finally found it in Kodi.

Thank you!

What you have described is the procees I used in Kodi V18 to access the NAS unit. Affter the upgrade it broke.

I tried to downgrade to Kodi V18 but Android would not allow me to install it. 

I finally uninstalled V19, sideloaded V18 and I now have access to my NAS and all the other SMB compliant devices.

In V18, I select "Add Source" in the file manager, I select "Windows network (SMB)". When selected, you see "WORKGROUP". Select WORKGROUP and I see all the SMB compliant devices on my network. Three on the devices are Windows clients and the other two are NAS devices.

When I try the same process in V19 and select "Windows network (SMB)", V19 does not find "WORKGROUP" and therefore I can't go any further.

On that basis, either the upgrade process screwed up something OR SMB is broken in V19.

This update didn't work for the Minix box running Kodi 19.1 Matrix. I am still getting error 2 messages and connection time outs to SMB.

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.
