Description
Describe your suggested feature
Currently there is no metadata in the mediasession for the videoplayer. This should be expanded so when the player and mediasession is attached it also applies all known metadata we have about the file played. This would help the OS to better handle the video playback, and also allow for spicy features like "Album artwork for display on the lock screen".

Research direction
Start by locating where the video player attaches the Android MediaSession and where the played file's metadata is available. Trace the metadata fields currently known for the file, then confirm that the MediaSession receives them when playback is attached, including artwork where available.
