Does your TV server have a fixed IP address?
I found that putting the IP address of the computer in the MediaPortal client settings fixed MediaPortal itself being able to connect. I didn't do anything at all with SMB settings.
I did disable IPv6, but I don't know if that made a difference. I don't think I need it, so I'm not going to mess about with it.
Right now, everything works perfectly for me.
It's strange. The client computer can find the TV server on my network by name, but Kodi and MediaPortal seem not to be able to (or it takes a very long time).
