Actually it turned out that setting minimum to SMB2 and maximum to SMB3 works. Evidently leaving them "auto"is not good enough.
As number67o noted you MUST specify UNC paths; and as I stated earlier you MUST set the SMB paths with the user and password included. (like smb://user:[email protected]/tv3/Movies/) if you do it using "add a location" it will format it for you.
If that is too much to do you can just edit /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/service.watchdog/settings.xml and type the UNC paths.
I prefer this to autoupdater because it happens immediately, doesn't depend on cron. I usually delete files from my server as soon as finish watching.
It does not seem to work at all in Kodi 19. Kodi 18.5 is deprecated in favor of 18.6.
