It could have been the newer SDK we were required by Google to use to remain in the Play store. However the only person we had actively working on Android specific stuff hasn't had time for anything Kodi related since November, so we currently don't have any real idea and don't have anyone to look at it. As its only the Shield that seems to offer this functionality it looks like the only way to get it fixed is for Nvidia themselves to take an interest in helping their customers by investigating themselves what the issue is.

I have these issues on Kodi V17, where it's not longer giving me access to my Windows 10 PC share. It works on my Fire TV that is running Kodi V18, but not on the other TV that is running Kodi V17. I've tried to input the exact same information, it makes 0 sense.
Anyone having issues on V17 too?

Trying to upgrade screwed everything up, could no longer use SMB section for adding network and old shares stopped working and wouldn't connect, tried fresh install and going back with no luck the normal pre allocated SMB share refuses to work like it did and had to use custom and am now in the process of rescanning my ENTIRE library.

Hello All,
Another Nvidia Shield user with mounted network storage experiencing similar issues ( network folders mounted in the shield settings not showing up under "Files" in Kodi 19 when they did in Kodi 18).
One detail that may be helpful: I set up the library to automatically update in 18. And... it still does under 19! I can see the episodes/movies I add to my shares on my PC in the "recently added" sections, and play them fine from there! So, wild semi-uninformed guess here: could the issue specific to the Shield-mounted network storage not be related to SMB ? Or could it be a different SMB issue?
