Didn't work mate. Not the format you have given or the other million formats I tried. Always ended up with "Failed to resolve the host"

@MXPlayer Also the instructions to Report an Issue from the official link is outdated. The app no longer has an option for "Bug Report".

same issue here. X-Plore connects to samba-server without any problem, MX-Player always gives connection error:
"A security error occurred while connecting to the host. Please make sure that Username and Password are valid and try again."

Syntax I tried:
Server: smb://192.168.0.106
Shared path: myfolder
+ Connect anonymously

X-Plore works with exact same setup (with smbv2 turned off).
