Wait. A penny just dropped. Back in your post #33 you said
You must be using the file manager "Connect to Server..." option with type "SSH". That just leads to more complication.
Remember, we've been talking about SMB shares here. Try the "Connect to Server..." option with type "Windows Share" (aka SMB Share) instead. You'll have to name the share. In the case of my earlier example with share RALLY8GB on my "m82pirate" player the resulting file manager prompt looks like the following after I filled it out
Notes: 1) I don't have local DNS service so I have to add the .local pseudo-domain to the server's hostname. The server's numeric IP address would work just as well. 2) "WORKGROUP" is the domain name for moOde's shares unless you've made changes to its Samba configuration.
After connecting, I can read and write files to the share without further entry of any credentials.
Now, back to why you can't open the shares by clicking on the host icon. Candidly, I don't know how to debug this. My spidey sense tells me this is related somehow to how your LAN is dealing with mDNS and DNS queries but I haven't thought of a way to look into what the Linux Mint file manager is doing.
Since moOde 8.2 introduced the ability to share files via NFS instead of/in addition to SMB, I suppose you could try the NFS route. It's not my cup of tea and I have no idea how well/poorly the Linux Mint file manager can navigate it.
ETA - Another late thought. Are you booting moOde from this "USB mounted SDcard"?
