Loss off network shares on 8.2

[TheOldPresbyope]

Interesting that a few other people have noticed this problem I mentioned here a good while ago:

It's the reason I've stuck to 7.6.1 on my main system.

I also have a Pi Zero W on the latest moOde and the problem recently got worse: previously on v8 I was at least able to use samba to access the sd card from Ubuntu and it was just via an Android app where accessing moOde ceased to work, but since upgrading to 8.2.2 I cannot access it from Ubuntu either.  Very odd.

Did you enable SMB file sharing in the m > Configure > System panel?

If you enabled it, disabled it, and reenabled it, have you tried rebooting the player? (see my previous post).

I don't know X-plore but the Owlfiles app on my Android Pixel 3A phone has no problem accessing moOde 8.2.2 SMB shares; neither does the Owlfiles app on my Apple iPad 9.7; neither does my Linux Mint laptop. 

The (virtual) Windows 10 Pro running on the same laptop won't detect my moOde 8.2.2 players using "This PC > Network" but I have no problem using "map network drive" to access moOde's SMB shares. (All subject to the condition in my previous post.)
