I assume you want to save a Favorite that will start a defined Dynamic Playlist, not a static copy of a playlist previously generated by the plugin. I think it can be done in Material, although several steps are required. First, go to Material Settings. Under Browse --> Home Screen Items, be sure "Extras" is checked. Now open Extras in the Browse menu and select SQL Playlist. You should find a list of all Dynamic Playlist definitions. Locate the one you want and click the pencil icon to edit it. At the bottom of the page is the name of the xml file, in this format: randomtracks1jcr.sql.values.xml. Make note of it, specifically the first part. Now go to the Favorites menu and click the heart+ icon to add a Favorite. In the dialog that pops up, give it a name and for the URL enter "dynamicplaylist://sqlplaylist_" plus the first part of the name of the xml file. So, using my example file name, the URL is "dynamicplaylist://sqlplaylist_randomtracks1jcr". That seems to work for me, and I hope it will for you. It's always possible that something's different on your system, so your mileage might vary. LMS 8 nightly running on Raspberry Pi OS.
