I can no longer access my Kodi shares (on main windows box) from other windows boxes. Nothing comes up. I can access the shares from virtually every other device and software but kodi.

\\KODI\VIDEOS

for example.

I have been using smb:

smb://kodi/videos

and that no longer works.

I tried to go to the Add Network Location and typed

\\kodi\videos as the server name

And, of course, that doesn't work either. I've chosen NFS and SMB as the protocol.

Does kodi no longer support URLs? I don't want to use mapped drives because it's rather difficult to map a drive letter in Android and Raspberry Pi (other devices that ALSO see the NFS shares perfectly fine).

This seems to have been a problem for quite some time. Nobody found a fix?

My main windows PC that is running the latest kodi can see SMB shares fine including a wireless printer. I do

Videos->Files->Add Videos->Browse->SMB

And I see what I pretty much expect to.

On the computer right next to it (laptop) running the same version of Kodi I do the above and the list is entirely empty. Why?

I checked the firewall. It's totally off.

This is true of virtually every other Windows/Kodi I have (3 of them) except for the main media server.

I checked and SMB1 protocol is enabled on all these boxes.

Any ideas?

I'll try to get a debug log when I get back to my house.
