Well ownership and mounted read only is two different pairs of shoes.
So first post the output of
mount
ls -lah /media/
Then we can decide further

osmc@osmc1:~$ ls -lah /media/
Ok so obviously it is as expected mounted read/write
Are you saying that command didn’t had an output?
Ran it again, got this:
osmc@osmc1:~$ ls -lah /media/ls -lah /media/
ls: cannot access /media/ls: No such file or directory
/media/:

First show ls -lah /media/ExtFS4-1/
Secondly have you tried if you can write a file?
touch /media/ExtFS4-1/test
osmc@osmc1:~$ touch /media/ExtFS4-1/test
osmc@osmc1:~$ sudo ls /media/ExtFS4-1/test
/media/ExtFS4-1/test
osmc@osmc1:~$ cd /media/ExtFS4-1
osmc@osmc1:/media/ExtFS4-1$ ls
lost+found Movies test
osmc@osmc1:/media/ExtFS4-1$
So writing as User OSMC works. So whats the problem? You can not write from your MAC via samba when logged in as user osmc?
That’s the problem. Finder changes pointer from arrow to the “No Symbol” (circle with line through it) (/).

Clear sign that the MAC can write to it.
This folder has clearly wrong user/group. Did you write it via samba or copied it when the drive was connected to the Mac?
Connect to Mac, I think. Didn’t know about Samba Formating. I can try reformatting attached to Pi with SAMBA from the OSMC interface (more new territory to explore!) or should that happen at the CLI?
Nobody is talking about formatting!
I was asking if you copied the Movies folder when the drive was physically connected to the Mac or via the network/samba.
When you copy files from the Mac not via samba but when the drive is directly connected to the Mac then you would need to change the user afterwards when connected to OSMC.
If you want you can now run once chmod -R osmc:osmc /media/ExtFS4-1/ to fix this.
When you only copy files via samba this problem should not occur
osmc@osmc1:/media/ExtFS4-1$ chmod -R osmc:osmc /media/ExtFS4-1/
chmod: invalid mode: ‘osmc:osmc’
Try ‘chmod --help’ for more information.
osmc@osmc1:/media/ExtFS4-1$ sudo chmod -R osmc:osmc /media/ExtFS4-1/
chmod: invalid mode: ‘osmc:osmc’
Try ‘chmod --help’ for more information.
osmc@osmc1:/media/ExtFS4-1$
FINALLY!!!
Got it with:
osmc@osmc1:/media/ExtFS4-1$ sudo chown osmc /media/ExtFS4-1
osmc@osmc1:/media/ExtFS4-1$ sudo chmod 777 /media/ExtFS4-1 -R
Thanks a TON for all your help!!!
Ups, clearly typo on my side but you luckily already found the correct command chown.
777 should not be necessary 770 should do the job
