Proposal details [PDF version]:
- Add lock screen button
- Add Track management feature
- Equalizer UI
- Add docs on how to custom style/bind the LibVLCSharp.Forms MediaElement control

I used C# and Xamarin.Forms for coding and Markdown for the documentation.

Outcome contributing

Lock screen added
Track management feature added
Equalizer implemented
Docs updated
Existing Sample updated
Sample created showing how to customize the MediaElement control
Extended gesture support
