First, check in settings - services - smb service set minimum version to v1 and maximum to v3 as others have said.

Then go to add library sources
-Hit browse then choose "Add Network Location"
(Browsing the network for SMB shares does not work anymore so you have to enter the settings manually)

-Choose Windows network SMB as the protocol
-For server name, enter the IP address of your NAS or file server (Entering the computer name did not work)
-Enter the username and password if you have password protected file sharing enabled
- leave shared folder blank at first to test. You can browse all the shares on the machine afterwards to your library

I was able to remove the user account password and it continued to work and I never had password protected sharing turned on.

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.

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.

If you add them as SMB shares using add video > browse > add network location (do not use the SMB option under browse) and then set up the SMB share there with your username/password, can you access the files properly that way?

I really hope someone with some Android development experience takes over the dev work on Kodi's android branch and is able to fix this. 

As a summary for anyone curious, the issues are:
-Kodi no longer recognizes network mounts done on a Shield TV through the OS
-Kodi can no longer browse the network over SMB (this I was told was due to dropping support for SMB v1)
-Kodi can't read the none value for the minimum smb version (the fix for this is to change the setting under settings, services, smbclient, minimum samba version set to V1 instead of None)
-You can map a shared folder by using the IP and entering the folders, username/password (passwords are now required under Kodi 19) BUT when you go this route, the video will randomly just stop playing and close bringing you back to the Kodi interface.

It could be an Android issue, v19 is built with a new Android SDK and Goggle have been increasing security for accessing local drives so it maybe that the API's (or we need to use a newe/different API) no longer allows us to detect those automatically. When you select "Add videos" under Files and select Browse do they then appear in the list provided?
