Yes, it has been gone many years. SMB v2 and v3 do not support browsing.

Do a google search for SMB v1 vulnerabilities to see why SMB v1 and browsing was removed.

SMB (wiki)

Now with Matrix, I can no longer see "Workgroup" when I Browse "Windows network (SMB).  I had a Kodi backup on my network sitting on one of my NAS units I was trying to restore and luckily it was on my newest NAS that supports Samba.  I found that I could see the shares on my PR WD NAS via the Zeroconf browser in Kodi due to that NAS supporting Samba but not the other 3 NAS units.

After restoring my backup of a different build that upgraded and migrated the db successfully just last night, (these are all Sony Android TVs running Kodi from the Android TV) I was then able to see all the shares on the 3 NAS units that do not support Samba.  I am able to Edit the shared file serverpath (ie: smb://servername/sharename/folder) so I assume I can manually enter the serverpath from scratch, but that makes a simple thing if it will work tedious having to type all that in rather than picking it from a list in a browse screen.

So far, out of 4 TVs, 2 of them have migrated successfully, and one did not which is what required the restoration of a build that did.  The 4th TV has not downloaded Matrix yet.  Is this something that will be addressed in a patch or future version?  Or is support for browsing SMB gone?  Thank you very much for this great app and any info you can give me!

Hi,

I'm in the same position.  I didn't use Kodi for a while, and then when I started it up, I noticed it had an upgrade to MAtrix.

I found where I can "Edit the shared file serverpath (ie: smb://servername/sharename/folder) so I assume I can manually enter the serverpath from scratch"

I'm at a loss as to what to replace this with to make it work.

Could someone please provide an example?

Thanks much.
