Need help with SMB share on my Rpi4

I've got a fresh install of the latest Kodi on LibreElec on my Rpi4. I go to add a SMB share and none of them on my Windows computer appear. With all other devices, they're just there. So, what do I do to connect with them? My Rpi4 is connected to my home network via ethernet.

I took the SMB share address from my Rpi2 that it sees on my desktop and tried to enter it into the SMB location for my Rpi4 seeing as the IP method wasn't working. I keep getting operation not completed with an "unable to connect" error telling me it couldn't retrieve directory information possibly because of the network not being connected. The Rpi4 is connecting fine as other online services are able to work.

 

Can anyone help me understand what might be wrong here?

Are you trying to retrieve the share list or are you specify the share on the end of the IP?

 

My experience with SAMBA on Linux is sometimes it doesn't understand a request to the IP of a SMB server unless you append the name of the share.

 

For example: 

smb://192.168.0.100/music/

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.
