a dedicated refresh button and workflow for Xtream in the recent playlists UI. Show a refresh icon only when the playlist has a serverUrl. For Xtream playlists, prompt the user with a confirmation dialog, delete locally cached categories and streams, show a toast that the refresh started, and navigate to the playlist to trigger re-import. Keep existing refresh IPC logic for non-Xtream (M3U/local) playlists. Also add English translations for the Xtream refresh tooltip and dialog messages, and surface errors via snackbar on failure. This enables safe re-importing of remote Xtream playlists while preserving favorites and recent items.
