I'm trying to switch over to SMB from UPnP. The shared home group is all set up and working. I've been able to successfully access the shared files from another computer. However, I cannot get Xbmc to see the files I've shared. I go thru add videos, and then browse down to Windows Network (SMB) and when I select it there is nothing in it. What am I doing wrong here?

Presumably you mean you're using windows, as you mention home groups. I've not used the windows home group stuff in my setup, as I don't really trust it. But that is just my personal bias.
However, I did setup my server smb share (old fashioned workgroup user/password style) and have had no problem with XBMC seeing my SMB share added via UNC.
Maybe if you map a drive letter to it, then access through that? Just a shot in the dark.
