Discovering this tool for Windows users struggling with SAMBA client discovery. I came across a useful Python-based daemon at https://github.com/christgau/wsdd, which uses the WSD protocol on Windows to simplify locating network clients. While you can still rely on manual DNS entries or other workarounds, this solution streamlines access for any Windows guest, making it much easier to reach your media shares without navigating multiple steps. If your distribution offers a native version, give it a shot—it seems to work well, with shares appearing almost instantly under "Network."
