I found a very helpful site that solved my problem. I want to share it here for future reference:
In Kodi try:
Add network location > Protocol = Windows SMB > Server Name = IP address of the server PLUS then put :445 on the end (this is the SMB TCP Port Number) > OK
Eg > 192.168.1.1:445
Usernames and password may be required.
Then select the smb://ip.address.of.server from the list again to add your shares.

I finally fixed it, but not by using Libreelec. Went with Openelec instead.
I'm thinking about doing the same since I also have massive problems with LibreElec and NUC. Was OpenElec free of all those problems?
Yes I can mount, but when scanning starts i get "No connection with share"
My NAS was set to SMB1, and "local master browser" was ticked
Hi. Tnx for your reply.
Yes it is a Synology NAS. I did try the "Enable Local Master" but it didn't do it for me.
I can navigate to the source and see all the files, KODI beleives the directory does not exist. I just tried resetting the system and started fresh, added the source location again and it's the same. It explains the difficulty in scanning for content too. Does anybody have any ideas? I'm trying to use SMB which works under windows without issue, maybe a different protocol is needed for libreELEC??
I seem to have the same issue.
When I try to add an smb source I get "Unknown error 8216"
I also had that error code a couple of times.
moka123, I'm not sure what you trying to tell me.
Hi.
Yes Samba is on
I have not modified samba.config
I'm not sure what you mean with your last line, but no I do not think that I have.
Hi,
Yesterday I installed LibreELEC for the first time, coming from different builds of Kodi earlier (latest KodiBuntu) on my Intel NUC.
But now I have as a simple problem as getting my Kodi connect to my NAS over SMB. I tried to connect my shares with static IP's, and server name and paths, but nothing works.
Nothing is changed in my router or NAS since previous build of Kodi that worked fine yesterday.
Here is the log: MaJZ
Edit: I should probably mention that I can browse my network/SMB share, and mount paths for my content, but then when scanning starts it says that it can't connect to the share. Edit.
I hope you can help me spread some light to this, and please let me know if there is any other info you need from me.
