Empty SMB folder

SUMMARY
In SMB shares, Dolphin displays "No shared folders found", which makes no sense.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go to an empty folder in an SMB share with Dolphin (smb://server/empty_folder/)

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin displays "No shared folders found". This is the shared folder, it's empty, there's no actual error.
Creating a file makes the message disappear, even though it was about folders.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should display "Folder is empty", or "Shared folder is empty".

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 42
KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4-1

dolphinview: for samba use special placeholder only for /

And no hostname set cases.

For other invalid cases (invalid host, host unreachable), we get the Canceled Loading status.
