You just have to be in advanced or expert mode in settings menu.

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!
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.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.
- 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)
If you want to access the folder then do the step below:Now if you have the previous folder configuration, then this should fix it for you immediately.
- After the above setting, Now Legacy mode will be available turn it ON (you need to restart and come back)
- DONE!
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.
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.
