Hi, you can create a backup and then restore user data to a different user:

I don't wanna overwrite the whole playstates etc, i only wanna transfer the live tv favourites (also not the movie favourites)

 

so when i look at the text, i think this is not what i want and not really helpful:

Only way I can think of is hacking the backup userdata.  Copying your "isFavorite: true," items from your userdata to their userdata then Restore that users userdata.

I beautified the file to make it easier with a js plugin in notepad++.

Example I copied from one to another.

    }, {
        "Key": "309053",
        "PlaybackPositionTicks": 0,
        "PlayCount": 0,
        "IsFavorite": true,
        "HideFromResume": false,
        "Played": false,
        "RatingLastModified": "2021-01-28T01:56:16.0000000+00:00",
        "PlaystateLastModified": "2021-01-28T01:56:16.0000000+00:00"
    }

So depending on how many items you are talking about this can be a little bit of work.  But honestly do not know how the "Key" corresponds to actual item.

Ok thanks, i thought it would work out of the box but ok, i will check your suggestion and also will look in the database, maybe i can copy this with sql
