@MeoMix, I'm a month past the most recent comment, but I think I know how you could check for new uploads at least. I'm not sure if it works for playlists as well, but uploads per channel have an RSS feed that can be read with the topmost "entry" being the most recent upload. I use it in an IFTTT recipe myself. an example of a link to one of these feeds is as follows:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/%USERNAME%/uploads
where %USERNAME% can be the channel ID or the Channel name as it appears in a youtube.com/user/ link.

I also found this for grabbing playlists as an RSS feed.

Just leaving this here in case it helps!

Oh cool! Thanks for the information. RSS feed would probably be a decent
option. The other way to do it would be to query YouTube's API for the
given playlist and keep track of the page token for the last page
retrieved. Then, when needed, query for that page again, check for new
records and/or existence of a next page token.

The real complications involve deletions and songs added to the playlist
manually. If someone deletes a song in the playlist then it shouldn't
restore itself on update and songs which are manually added shouldn't
disappear. Not exceedingly difficult, now that I think about it, but
definitely a couple of edge cases to consider. Possibly others out there,
too.

Simply a button under "More options" that reimports a playlist would be a good start.
