Hello to everyone, i want to create an application with xamarin forms to display a video, but as i see in the documentation is necesary to create a custom render in xamarin based on the VisualElementRenderer class, but i couldn't find any documentation or guide of how to implement the custom render, someone could help me with this one?

Hi,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by insufficient documentation.
Here are some resource to reference about custom renederer.
1. Xamarin.Forms Custom Renderers- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/app-fundamentals/custom-renderer/
2. Sample app and sample codes 
 - Sample app - https://github.com/Samsung/Tizen-CSharp-Samples/tree/master/Wearable/CircularUIMediaPlayer/src
 - MediaView - https://github.com/Samsung/Tizen.CircularUI/blob/master/src/Tizen.Wearable.CircularUI.Forms/MediaView.cs
 - MediaViewRenderer - https://github.com/Samsung/Tizen.CircularUI/blob/master/src/Tizen.Wearable.CircularUI.Forms.Renderer/MediaViewRenderer.cs

And here is a part of sample code about MediaView and MediaViewRenderer.

public interface IMediaViewController
{
    void SendNativeViewCreated();
}

public class MediaView : View, IMediaViewController
{
    public event EventHandler NativeViewCreated;

    public object NativeView
    {
        get; private set;
    }

    void IMediaViewController.SendNativeViewCreated()
    {
        NativeViewCreated?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
    }

    public void SetNativeView(object obj)
    {
        NativeView = obj;
    }
}
[assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(MediaView), typeof(MediaViewRenderer))]
namespace MediaTest
{
    public class MediaViewRenderer : ViewRenderer<MediaView, Tizen.Multimedia.MediaView>
    {
        Tizen.Multimedia.MediaView _view;

        protected override void OnElementChanged(ElementChangedEventArgs<MediaView> e)
        {
            _view = new Tizen.Multimedia.MediaView(Xamarin.Forms.Platform.Tizen.Forms.NativeParent);
            SetNativeView(_view);
            Element.SetNativeView(_view);

            (Element as IMediaViewController)?.SendNativeViewCreated();

            base.OnElementChanged(e);
        }
    }
}
public class PlayerService
{
    Player _player;

    public PlayerService()
    {
        _player = new Player();
    }

    public Task PrepareAsync()
    {
        return _player.PrepareAsync();
    }

    public void Start()
    {
        _player.Start();
    }

    public void Stop()
    {
        _player.Stop();
    }

    public void Unprepare()
    {
        _player.Unprepare();
    }

    public void SetSource(string file)
    {
        var uri = "file://" + Path.Combine(Program.ResourceDir, file);
        _player.SetSource(new MediaUriSource(uri));
    }

    public void SetDisplay(MediaView view)
    {
        if(view.NativeView is Tizen.Multimedia.MediaView tmv)
        {
            _player.Display = new Display(tmv);
        }
    }
}
