Empty SMB Folders/Computers

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab s5e on AT&T. I am connected to my home wi-fi. The tablet runs Android 11 using VLC version 3.5.4. When I browse the machines each SMB folder is empty. I've checked and unchecked prefer SMB1 in the advanced settings. The directories are still empty. It was working then I did a media clear and it stopped working. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It works fine on my Samsung Galaxy S22 phone running the same version on Android 13. The directory will say loading and then empty on the tablet. What do I need to do now?
