Yes maybe not so obvious as I had thought.
As for your issue, not sure but it's possible you may have to disable smb1 in Windows Features. I don't actually own a Xbox so do my best to offer advice based on my Windows experience..

Hello everyone, i've a problem with SMB File sharing: if I add a SMB source on Kodi on my pc it works, but if I add the same source with the same options on Kodi on my Xbox, it don't work and it say " Error Connection timed out".
Can someone help me?

I'm having the same issue. SMB 2/3 on my Windows server. No problems with multiple macs/pc accessing shares. no problems with Libreelec box accessing shares. no problem with Kodi/Win accessing shares. Cannot for the life of me get Kodi/Xbox to work. I've tried both IP and Host, and get the same generic failure message.

So, I have 18b5 installed, but I'm not seeing the addon to allow me to browse samba networks. I went to sign up for the test version and see that they are no longer adding people to the list? I "signed up" for the test version via the Google Doc anyway, but haven't seen the ability to update Kodi yet. Am I just out of luck being able to get my Kodi install to browse SMB or do I just need to wait longer? Is there anyway to install the addon "manually"?
