Loss off network shares on 8.2

Here's some tests I've done with a moOde 8.2.2 player and my Linux Mint 20.3 laptop.

1) moOde - SMB File sharing service -> OFF. Remove USB thumbdrive. Reboot.

LM file manager: Browse Network: shows a collection of folder icons including for my moOde player. Double-click on it. An empty window opens. Close it and the file manager.

2) moOde - SMB File sharing service -> ON. Reboot.

LM file manager: Browse Network: shows the same collection of icons. Double-click on the one for my moOde player. A window opens (header: "Windows shares on <hostname>") with three folder icons---NAS, Playlists, SDCARD---displayed. Double-clicking on any one of them opens the "Password Required" popup. As I said previously, I can connect either as Anonymous or as the moOde user pi. Then the chosen share is mounted and opened in a window in the file manager.

3) moOde - plug in the USB thumbdrive and wait for its activity light to stop blinking (essentially, indicating it's been mounted)

LM file manager: Browse network: shows a collection of icons. Double-click on the one for my moOde player. A window opens and this time displays four folders---NAS, Playlists, SDCARD, and RALLY8GB (which is the drive name of my USB drive). Double-clicking on the USB drive share proceeds as in 2).

At this point, I can't say what's different on your system.
