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 (and others) 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?
