Well, my Qnap and Buffalo NAS are working fine. It is SMB from Windows that is the problem here. I was hoping somebody else could test streaming from a Windows share. As @ppoulos wrote there might be some issues with Zidoos implemention of SMB access. Microsoft has made several adjustments to SMB over the years.

Since it is working with ZDMC - KODI internal player and not the Media Explorer application it must be some programming error regarding SMB access for just that application.
I work with Windows Servers, clients and networking every day. Must say this is a first for me regarding access to a Windows share. I have had many different media-players like WD, VidOn etc, Never seen this problem. I hope somebody can test and replicate this so @mirror88 can troubleshoot and resolve this.
Cheers!
