I have the same issue. I cannot connect via SMB to my network drive, even with the correct password. It appears in VLC mobile version 3.2.12 on iOS 14. It worked fine on the previous versions.

Workaround to play network files on VLC 3.2.x until the bug is fixed:

There is a short workaround to use VLC 3.2.x with videos or streams on network drives until VLC is able to fix SMB connection problems. You need a file managing software which supports the share functions. I used FE FileExplorer for it (theres a free version), but I guess it will work with other app...
