The emby for kodi addon includes a node for favourites ...so yes it already does you just need to make a shortcut to it

I think this is a reasonable request - to sync Kodi favorites back to Emby.  Right now, we are only syncing playstates, and syncing other changes it not trivial - however it is do-able - so adding to the Trello board:

I don't know how you can accomplish this. There's no queue coming from Kodi's api to know if an item has been added to favorites.

Yes - it would have to be a menu option to manually go through and compare and sync.  There is no way to do it dynamically as you said.

Ah, well then the request is already there, right above the card you just created lol....:

We can add context menus to db items in Isengard?

 

Anyway - that wasn't actually what I meant by menu item - I meant an Emby entry point like 'Reset DB' that goes through the Kodi DB looking for favorites and setting them on the server.  Probably context menu would be better!  Seems like there is something else we wanted to add to the context menu...
