Can we get support for Libraries which are mounted as read-only?

Body

I have my media mounted in Jellyfin from a NAS as read-only, as I want to keep the Library / Media storage clean from other files I didn't add.

Themerr however currently requires the Library folder being writable.

Thus I was wondering if Themerr-jellyfin could be updated such that it supports storing the songs in it's own data directory, similar to other jellyfin plugins / features like chapter image extraction or trickplay.

Best regards~

Not possible, Jellyfin requires the theme songs be placed next to the media.

Should any stumble upon this discussion in the future:
You can get it working, while keeping a Read-Only mounted NAS or whatever you got using merger-fs, where you basically mount the Read-Only Library and the folder you want to use for all the "generated" files together, so that the themes get stored in an actually writeable folder, while the Library stays clean.

That's a nice workaround, thanks for sharing!
