A function that autorefreshes the playlist.

Im doing a xspf playlist via php on a localserver. (php is creating the xspf on a localserver, which allows me to set up categories and so on)
BUT as it is now, I have to delete the current playlist and select the same playlist again (now updatet) and then play the new files.
Therefore it would be very handy to have a function that could autorefresh the current playlist.

Could this be done? and if so could this function be a feature in VLC?
