Add more features:
- Add more controls
- Add more events
- Add more attributes
- Add more methods
- Add more inputs
- Add more outputs
- Add skip by X seconds buttons
- Handle the autoSwitch to fullScreen (possible?)

So yeah all help is welcome. I'm kind of new to the dev community but I'll do my best to ensure new contrivutions are dully treated and hilighted. Best way to test your contrivutions is to run ng serve to launch the default project (demo application) and 'ng build --watch' to build the library on the fly.
