TheTVDB collects manually picked screen shots for each episode. It would
be nice to show them instead of a randomly picked preview image (I get
lots of episodes with random advertisment as preview which leaves room for
improvement.) The only downside is the restricted size.
From their wiki:
Episode images are small screenshots of each episode.
Here's The Breakdown of the system
1. Images are limited to one per episode
2. Images are limited to a maximum size of 400 x 300 (400x225 for 16:9
images)
5. Images should be uploaded in their original aspect ratio if the show
is 16:9 then that should be the ratio of the image, even if your local
network broadcast it in 4:3.
6. '''Images should be an non-spoiler action shot from the episode not
randomly generated so we just get a shot of a building or a street
light.'''
7. Images must be appropriate for viewing at a workplace. (i.e. NO
NUDITY)
8. Images shouldn't just be a title shot from the episode we already
know the episode's name we don't need to see it again.
