I have been using the android media boxes for years with much love but anytime something updates whether it be windows or the media box programs it breaks everything. It loses the shares, it cant see the network, it cant play anything and I spend hours redoing everything over and over again punching the wall until something finally clicks and i don't understand why. I have a simple setup. A windows 11 machine with 2 internal hard drives shared, a guest account setup up because for some reason it requires it and a media box across the room set up to play movies on my tv. I use SMB shares to connect and as of the KODI 20 update guess what, everything is broken again. After the update the smb shares can no longer be seen or found. All I get is Operation Not Permitted. I have went through setup 5 complete times and nothing. I've done every combination of SMBv1, v2, v3 and no avail. What the hell am I doing wrong here. Is there a better alternative to this? KODI alternative? I am at my wits end dealing with this. Someone please have mercy....
