Add automatic playlist refresh on application startup by listening for successful playlist load and dispatching an IPC event for any playlists with autoRefresh enabled. - Inject Actions into AppComponent and add triggerAutoUpdatePlaylists that waits for PlaylistActions.loadPlaylistsSuccess, selects selectAllPlaylistsMeta from the store, filters playlists with autoRefresh, and sends AUTO_UPDATE_PLAYLISTS via DataService. - Call triggerAutoUpdatePlaylists from ngOnInit and remove a now- unused commented commands list. - Add helper functions in backend playlist events to fetch and parse playlists from URL or file, consolidating parsing logic and creating playlist objects. This implements the previously noted TODO to trigger playlist auto- refresh and centralizes playlist fetching/parsing for reuse and clarity.
