Hi guys. I've just registered to post solution regarding connecting errors with Kodi using windows 10 SMB shares. (getting timeout error after I upgraded from win7 to win10 few days ago).

In windows 10, you have to enable SMB 1.0 because kodi uses this older version of SMB.



As explained here:

Cheers.

There is no need to do that and SMB1.0 is insecure.

Follow my easy guide to use SMB2/3 on Windows 10.

That link isn't found when I clicked on it, but I searched for SMB and found this link:

SMB (wiki)

In the introduction though I found this and it's a bit confusing:

Note: SMB v1 is not supported in Kodi. SMB v2 or higher must be used.

So how does enabling SMB-v1 in Windows help unless you're using an old version of Kodi?

I think the basic issue is that SMB v1 was providing browsing service as well as folder/file access and now Windows10 uses a different service for browsing.  So Kodi can't browse shared folders using SMB and instead you have to type in the server\folder name.  But Windows will do the name resolution for the server name to IP address.
