I cannot connect to drives shared by my TP-Link D7 router, to which they are connected via USB.
When I connect them to the router, with sharing enabled on the router, the router mostly doesn't appear under Shared folders. When it does appear and I tap on the link, one of the two connected drives is opened and VLC crashes almost instantly.
When I try to add the router manually over SMB, VLC continues loading without ever finishing, without showing the drives or showing any tracks.
When I add the router as ftp, VLC prompts for a password, twice, then logs on an crashes within a few seconds. This happens every time on two Android devices and one Android TV.
Kodi finds the shares without issue through Windows Network, and has no problems opening or playing any tracks.
Solid Explorer can't login over SMB until I choose the custom installation option and select SMB1 instead of SMB2. With SMB2 it falls to connect almost immediately after completing setup. With SMB1 it has no issues.
