I don't understand your question, sorry.

If you want to play specific files, either queue them one by one manually, or write a playlist file.

You can try an extension:
Add similar files from folder
or
Add Similar Files From Folder w AutoSort
It adds files from the same folder in playlist.

How do you use it? It works. With two clicks (VLC menu: View > Add Similar) it adds similar files for you into playlist. You need to alter the script if you want to add all files for example with the same file extension, not just similar ones like film series.
