Can not access shared PC (cable connected) through VLC on TV

Can not access shared PC (cable connected) through VLC on TV


Hello
TV Panasonic TX-49GXR600 (with Android TV) connected by cable to router Asus RT-AC88U.
PC "MEDIA" (with lot of fully shared without any logins folders and installed DLNA server HomeMediaServer "HMS") connected by cable to router.
Laptop "ALEXNB" and smartphones by WiFi to router.

Open VLC on TV and see all visible devices and services (HMS).

Open ALEXNB and in a second I get to shared folder there without any questions or problems, and of course can open video files.
Open MEDIA and it says - input login and password.
Image
If I try to click on OK without writing any data - it never let me go further.
If I write for example login 'guest' or 'Anonymous' - it starts to show connecting-indicator and .... for eternal life it's showing and showing and ...

If I open HMS - no problem, can access any folder in HMS and open any video.


Help me please to find a solution of problem - why I can't access PC (connected by cable, and not some shity WiFi!), and why it asks for login?..


Thank you!
