A way for the user to tell what the current status of their playlists are

[AuraofMana]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a user, when I am logging into the service is looking for one or both of the following:

1. Making sure the service is updating my playlists.
2. Looking to see if there are any videos that have been deleted from my playlists.

Currently, the service only does #2, but not #1. The old flow did both, and I understand that the current way is done due get around a technical limitation (or maybe design choice is better wording). Given I can't have #1, I would like to at least know what has changed, if any. Right now, I can't do that easily unless I go track them myself (i.e. checking which playlists have gotten new videos and seeing if that new total number of videos is reflected).

Describe the solution you'd like
When I come into the service, I would like to know the current status of my playlists. These information are what's important for me:

1. When was the last time my playlists were updated/synchronized?
2. Which playlists were updated and by how many videos? This goes from additions and subtractions (i.e. deletes, whether manually by the user or due to the video being unavailable) - the service already does the latter.

For a user who doesn't know what's going on, while it is impossible to know when the next update will happen, some message somewhere that states something along the lines of, "This service automatically monitors your playlists and updates about once a week. If you updated your playlists and didn't see any changes here, please check back in roughly a week from when when the last update happen to see that change." Maybe some longer explanation about why this isn't impossible to do a precise time or manual update. Also consider removing "roughly a week" if you don't want to promise that, but you should give some expectation of SLA to the user, in my opinion.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A. The update didn't point out (or if it did, I must have missed it) that manual syncing is removed, so I was pretty confused.

Additional context

Hello AuraOfMana

Thanks for posting your request.

I think your request is valid - many users would benefit from more transparancy about YouTube syncs / database updates. As a first improvement I'll show the date of the last update within the "info" tab. I'll also investigate if I can display the newly imported videos per playlist since the last user login.

Regarding the message how thinks work i have to check how I can give this information within the current information architecture. Maybe it would also be a good idea to send some kind of welcome mail after registration to explain how updates work.

Let me work on this and come back to you.

Thanks for your suggestions.
Nino
