This indicates the Moode device is configured correctly.
- Raspberry Pi 3B running Moode with an attached USB hard drive
- I am able to connect to the USB hard drive over the network from one Windows 10 PC, read/write, etc at \\10.0.0.215\PINAS\ (the local IP and share name)
- I am able to connect to the USB hard drive over the network from a second pi running Volumio at the same address
- I am able to connect to the web interface of the Moode device at http://10.0.0.215/ from everywhere.
What I cannot do is access the USB drive from any other Windows 10 devices in my houses (er, two of them) - on both I have enabled smb1 but beyond that I'm not really getting anywhere. I have not been able to find any obvious differences in how the Windows 10 devices are configured, just that one is able to access the drive and none of the other ones are.

Hello @kurek....
I've read the all the posts from your initial post onwards... Following up @TheOldPresbyope's suggestion to investigate the leads triggered by the 'error 53' Google Search is the logical path...
The way you want/perform access from all of the computers to a storage connected to another computer may be the reason for the encountered issue; scrutinise the way all the devices are connected to the Home Network, whether you use Powerline Ethernet and/or WiFi extenders... You may find that some computers are on one subnet and others on another subnet. I'd suggest that you gather all the computers in one room, connect them by LAN cable to Network Switch which in turn is connected to the Router and check the access to the RPi+USB HDD. Any fault finding should be carried out in that configuration.
However... if the 'Search,Try, Search Again, Try, etc' could turn out tedious why not change the way you access the USB hard disk drive which operates as your Digital Music Storage device...? The idea is to create a Network-Attached Storage by:
- either connecting the USB HDD to your Router (if iit's got USB ports)
- or, better, re-purpose one of the Windows boxes as a NAS either by installing native NAS operating system on the PC on the boot HDD (wiping the Win10) or in Virtual Machine
- or, simply, buy a cheap NAS
This way any computer, tablet, smartphone on the Home network will have access to the Music Storage. I'm sure that you may have your strong reasons to want sort-of-side access to the music from all sorts of computers but the connectivity and protocols chain may get erratic.
