So I decided to do an experiment, to see how an old build of kodi (that had libestagefright support) would work today. Turns out it didn't seem to work. But in trying it, I noticed that smb browsing worked perfectly.
i.e. it was able to enumerate everything and ask for username's and passwords as needed on my Sony Android TV. As this has never worked on v18 for me, I was wondering if something changed. However, when I uinstalled 15.2 and reinstalled 18.6 from the play store, it was back to what I expected, unable to browse (though I can enter the paths in manually without a problem)
