At the moment where downloading movie thumbs from themoviedb site.
I would like to have an additional by extracting thumbs from the actual movie itself. In a similar way like Ember Media Manager does..
I know there the build-in function screenshot however this requires playing the actual movie. XBMC uses a simulair method of grabbing a thumb from the video file if a thumb is missing.
So i would like to extract like say 4 thumbs from a movie without actual playing it and doing this in a batch operation.
It this even possible in an add-on using python and where to start?

I have what's probably a very silly question, but I set something and can't figure out how I did it, so I apologize in advance if this script doesn't have anything to do with my issue. Somehow I set my fanart to be automatically copied to local folders that can easily be used as background folders for home menu itens such as TV Shows, Movies, and Music. I don't see that option in this addon's settings, or the settings for Artwork Organizer, which are the only two addons I have that look relevant. I don't suppose someone would know how I set that to happen?
