I understand this has been removed, which is a shame.
I use the same password for my user on three Windows PC's at home as well as my MacBook. I've always simply set up a smb:// source under Videos and been able to browse to video files I had acquired on various PC's easily.
Since the default username/password has been removed, for the sake of simplicity I've opened up the shares on the Windows PC's so that anyone can access them and that works. I don't want to do this on my MacBook though since it frequently gets connected to networks where I don't want people accessing my files.
The problem is that when I try to Add Source my MacBook home directory I can't browse to the private share, it goes by default into the public share (which I also need) and never prompts for a username or password. Nor have I found any way to force the username or password via the interface.
Any tips?

Michal
