VLC iOS samba/SMB for guest user must be in SMB1 to work

In order to access a samba share in guest mode (no authentication), the samba server must be in SMB1 protocole and VLC iOS force to prefer SMB1.

Samba configuration:

server min protocol = NT1

VLC android does not have to be in SMB1 to work correctly.

As SMB1 is an insecure protocole, is there a way to make guest share (no authentication) work with at least SMB2 and VLC iOS ?

The problem is that to get VLC iOS working SMB1 is now open on the server for all the shares included others that I wanted to have authentication on it.
