I had similar problems.

Maybe some of the help I got here is of use?

Good luck!

network browsing is dependent on use of SMB1 and there is no equivalent in the SMB2/3 protocol; blame Microsoft

yeah, I changed that too.

For others with the same issue:

1) check the SMB setting (SMB v1 worked for me)

2) don't forget to add username/password in the "add network location" context menu.

Thanks again for your help!

Adding a Samba share via the "Add a network location..." browse option, including adding full credentials, should also work.

That did the trick. I didn't realize I had to to fill in username/password twice: Once to browse to the folder location, and then once more in the Kodi GUI.

Thanks!!

These days I notice people give up quickly unless there's a youtube-video showing where to click, which really does not teach you anything.

Present company excepted, of course....

Thanks for the replies - I'll give it a(nother) shot!

The title says it all, really

I installed 8.1.0 on my HTPC, and adding media from drives attached to my router worked flawlessly. However, adding shares from my Win 10 Creators Update machine eludes me!

I've read the release notes about the different SMB version - I just didn't understand it (the shame... ) !

Can anyone please write a simple step by step tutorial on how to do this...?

Big TIA!!
