What does Favourites group mean?

A favourites group is a local or synchronised collection of shortcuts to selected media entries. It makes daily navigation easier without necessarily modifying the maintained source catalogue or changing which items the account is authorised to access.

Why it matters

The shortcuts may reference source identifiers, so catalogue changes can leave a favourite pointing at an old entry. Transfer between devices requires an actual supported backup or synchronisation feature. A shared username does not automatically carry every local preference. Keep collections small enough to maintain and label them without private account information.

A practical example

For example, a favourite that stops opening can be replaced from the current full channel list. That narrow correction is often more useful than deleting the whole account and losing every other working shortcut.
