Is anyone having problems with recent builds not connecting to Windows shares? I have been using #1013 and this is fine. I found with #1025 that I couldn't load the MediaPortal TV plugin properly, but I didn't have time to look into it.

Now I've done some more testing, and it looks as though with recent builds I can't browse or connect to SMB shares on a Windows 10 PC at all.

I am on 1107 and had run several builds from 1013 up through 1107, and never had issues connecting and/or playing content from my Win10 PC where all my media is stored and the library shared via MySQL.

Thanks.

Sod's law, but after hours of searching, I find the solution after I post.

Once I added

192.168.0.5 SERVER

to hosts.conf and rebooted, all the problems are fixed.

Do we have any idea why this would be?

Thanks,
