Windows 11 SMB shared folder and Fritz!Box SMB shared folder not found
As far as I understand it, this might be related to the Media Discoverer "microdns" in libVLC.
The Windows 11 folder is just shared with right click - properties - sharing - share. I believe this would be based on SMB2 or SMB3. The Fritz!Box 7490 offers a shared network drive. Support for using smbV1 is enabled for it. Both require a username and password to be accessed, but finding it should work without credentials. Both show up in Windows 11 under network in the Explorer.

- I do NOT see it in VLC Player Windows 4.0.0-dev under Browse – My LAN
- I do (!) see it VLC Android 3.5.3 on Samsung S22 Ultra
- From a second Windows 11 PC in the same local network, I can find it and access it
