Features like that would depend on the renderer to request the next file to play, and it is not something the stock media player on the PS3 can do.
If you are willing to jailbreak it and install a custom firmware then you can use Movian as a replacement media player and that can autoplay the next file.

In theory it could be possible to create a playlist of all the files you wanted to play and have them transcoded, appending the next file to the stream when one ends. But you would lose or have limited control besides being able to pause. It would be like having your own TV channel.
This is not something UMS can currently do but could be done implemented if there is enough interest (if it is possible).

There might be a setting for it in the PS3 menu as described here https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1351954
