I am guessing the original module is abandoned.

You can make the change yourself, either download my copy of the node_helper.js file and replace yours, or modify yours directly. it's literally changing one word in a line of code. Go to line 154 and change "config" to "payload"

I'm using mine the same way, but my wife is slowly working her way through our extensive photo library favouriting our favourite photos.

I haven't looked into bulk selecting but I think you should be able to do it by editing the Plex DB using an XML editor. If you favourite a photo in Plex, open the Plex XML and see what the difference is between a favourited and non favourited photo then make the rest of the photos have the favourite flag, that should work I reckon.

Please please please backup your db before making any changes!

yea that seems above my knowledge, I can take a look but I have never played with databases tbh,

if you get a chance see if node_helper.js has some sort of filter I can just comment out VS only showing hearted images

Thank you
