I'm trying to use SMB4k v3.1.4 on the current Manjaro/KDE. After scanning for network devices via pressing F5 the list of the network neighborhood stays empty while Dolphin is able to discover these SMB devices in the network under smb://.
Mounting a device also doesn't work simply because the "OK" button never becomes clickable. I'm using an smb://-url as "path" and the correct IP address as well the workgroup name, but the OK button stays grey.
As there aren't any error messages shown, I have no idea where to start.

Thank you for reporting this issue. The first issue might happen if the avahi-daemon is not enabled and running. Could you please check?
For the second issue, could you please give me an example URL? Smb4K runs a check on the URL before the OK button is enabled. Maybe the issue is related to that check.

The status of sudo systemctl status avahi-daemon.service is disasbled. Enabling it shows the computers in my network. Thanks a lot!
It might help others if there'd be a warning about avahi being disabled when scanning the network.

I thought that giving the smb-url to the machine would be enough, but it turns out that I have to give the smb-url for a share, like smb://devicename/sharename. This way, connecting to an SMB share works even if avahi is disabled.
Maybe adding a placeholder text to the smb-url field would make it more clear what input SMB4k expects.

It is good to hear that everything is working now and thank you for the suggestions. I just implemented an error notification if the Zeroconf daemon (Avahi) is not running. The other one will follow.
