Is there one?

Hate to bump, but should I gather from the lack of replies that this can't be done?

As far as I know there is no builtin function for that but you could do something like this :
(not the most elegant solution but probably the only one)

* Requires "script.favourites"
* String compare currently selected item (label/path) with all KODI favourites
 

Code:

String.isEqual(ListItem.Label,$INFO[Window(Home).Property(favourite.1.name)]) | String.isEqual(ListItem.Label,$INFO[Window(Home).Property(favourite.2.name)]) | ... up to 20 ...

or with PATH
(this method is more complicated because you have to compare different path infolabels based on content e.g. ListItem.Path, ListItem.FolderPath)

String.Contains(ListItem.Path,$INFO[Window(Home).Property(favourite.1.path)]) | String.Contains(ListItem.FolderPath,$INFO[Window(Home).Property(favourite.1.path)]) | ...

with variables:

Code:

<variable name="Is_Favourite">
   <value condition="String.Contains(ListItem.Path,$INFO[Window(Home).Property(favourite.1.path)])">Selected item is a favourite #1</value>
   <value condition="String.Contains(ListItem.FolderPath,$INFO[Window(Home).Property(favourite.1.path)])">Selected item is a favourite #1</value>
   ... up to 20 ...
   <value>Not a favourite</value>
</variable>

It's probably better to use PATH for comparison because users are able to edit the label/name of the favourite which would break the conditions ...

Building on @bkury's method, you can do this without script.favourites.

Make a fake list with content set to favourites://

Code:

<control type="list" id="8801">
<itemlayout />
<focusedlayout />
<content>favourites://</content>
</control>

And then compare the strings with the fake list

Code:

String.IsEqual(ListItem.Label,Container(8801).ListItemAbsolute(0).Label) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.Label,Container(8801).ListItemAbsolute(1).Label) | String.IsEqual(ListItem.Label,Container(8801).ListItemAbsolute(2).Label)

etc..

Cheers for this, guys. How many favourites entries would I need to check? Is there a limit?
