Hi, I might have mentioned my pipedream before.

Well, one huge barrier to bringing it to fruition is that I don’t know if it is possible to use a webform to generate a video playlist and get it automatically played.  
In other words

1. Visitors select certain options on a form on my site.
2. A playlist is created with those options.
3. The playlist is automatically played in imbeded video (or locally hosted video)

Does anyone have any idea how I can make this work?

Audio playlists would be acceptable too

Please excuse the second B.U.M.P. but finding this out is very important to me.
