What's going on is that Win11 and recent editions of Win10, at least don't use SMB1 for NETBIOS discovery, they use Web Service Discovery instead. Linux/SAMBA and hence moOde no longer support SMB1 either, at least not officially, but they also don't support Web Service Discovery (at least not yet).
As I've said repeatedly on this forum, whether or not you're running some combination of Windows host(s) and Linux/SAMBA on your network which allow a moOde player to show up among hosts in the Windows Network Panel, you can always map each moOde share to a network drive either using the GUI or using the "net use" command from the command line.
I almost never use Windows but I've finally been pushed over the edge and done some research (for which read "Googled"). You'll find a nice summary of the situation in the README.md file at https://github.com/christgau/wsdd
I've tried starting christgau's wsdd.py daemon from the command line of one of my moOde 8.3.0 players and it works as advertised; namely, as long as it is running, this particular moOde player will show up as a host in the File/Network Panel on my Win10Pro (guest) host.
Since the README says wsdd.py is likely going to be in the next Debian release (Bookworm) and is already in other distros it seems a safe bet. I'm going to post an issue to the moOde github repo proposing we include it in the next update.
