Have you tried the MediaManager plugin for Xamarin Forms?

Not sure if you found something or not. I struggled a lot with this. This plugin here https://github.com/DanielCKennedy/XamMusic does what you need. You can modify the implementation to play music from your files then the system music files.

But it still has no option to play video on locked screen. I have worked on that and making a sample to help others. Its ready for ios but not for android at this stage.
