How about an “auto refresh” option on the playlist window/s ? This would be useful for network users who may be accepting playlist mods from other areas/studios. Perhaps a tickbox in the config to refresh if changed (mAirList checks every 10s, for example).
I’m not quite sure what you’re imagining, or why?
I can understand a need to (for example) program events from a remote PC. Provided the playout PC and the production PC are both using identical playlist files, and the playout PC event scheduling is in place, you could conceivably be editing any playlist file right up to the moment it gets loaded by the event scheduler.
Beyond doing something like that, or perhaps appending a playlist file to a running playlist, I’m not quite sure what kinds of ‘updates’ you mean? Once an MLP file is loaded into a Playlist, I can’t see what kind of updates you could sensibly perform on an active list of items, other than by literal remote control/takeover of the PC in question using software like MS Remote Desktop.
For starters, some items may already have been played out and ended, and I don’t see how you could insert or delete anything reliably either.
What am I missing here?!!

Updates of the on-air playlist from a production room, say, for requests - Or so that the PD can see what the “talent” are doing with the playlist. RCS call it a “living log” - All workstations viewing the same playlist automatically see updates across the network.
It’s a fairly standard feature 
Fairly standard for high-end software, yes, but quite impossible to implement for me at the moment, due to the way the playlists are managed internally. In particular, things get complicated when you are half way through your show and want to update the log from disk - how do you identify the current position within the new log, especially when the top most item has been deleted in the new version? Not at all trivial.
With a database connection (as RCS), this is a lot easier to handle - every SINGLE change made to the database log can be applied to the playout log simultaneously. This is a lot easier than applying several changes at the same time.

I think you mean something like this…
