Feature request: manual podcast update

OS version : Windows 10 x64 ; VLC version : 3.11 (french)

Hi

I'm listening some podcasts frequently on VLC, so my VLC instance stay opened all the days of the week when I'm working. After a working day I always hibernate amy OS. So when I'm back the next day I refind VLC opened. But I've a problem because the podcasts feeds are NEVER updated ! So, when I've added any file in the playlist tab I have to save it before, then I close and relaunch VLC , this process is the only to update my podcasts feed.

Perhaps a new menu's entry could be added on the VLC's pop-up menu appearing when right-click on left-sidebar > Internet > Podcast, and would be labelled as "Update feeds" ? To encourage you to develop this one, I find several forums posts mentioning this need after I've googled desesperatly the way to do that.
