It would really help if you provided an updated screenshot of your relevant blocks, so we can see what you are trying to do, and where the problem may be.

To get an image of your blocks, right click in the Blocks Editor and select "Download Blocks as Image". You might want to use an image editor to crop etc. if required. Then post it here in the community.

Should you be splitting the item not the global PlayList and then returning the last element of the split list ?

Learn to debug your blocks. .
If something does not work, create some blocks as simple as possible...
For example take one of the paths from the list manually, set the source and play..

You probably need a clock timer to allow the source time to get set.

Try this:

note: the videos are very short.
this is just a demo so the videos are copied to Movies from the assets on initialise
not sure why you needed a listview or the other buttons and labels?

Alternatively, if you just want to select a video from the listview and play that:
