Samba shares R/W?

[alleycat]

If all my media is located on Samba shares on another machine, does Jellyfin need to be able to read/write to the share or it's ok as read only?

Depends on whether you want to use the metadata management functions that will directly store metadata files into the media folder. If you don't it is safe to have read only filesystem.

Thank you, mine is read only at the moment.
