[mythtv-users] MythVideo feature idea: cover.jpg from screen shot

I have a bunch of files in mythvideo with no cover art, as they aren't
movies in IMDB.  In many cases, it would be simple to pause playback in
an appropriate place, and select an option to save the image as a cover
art image from the menu.  This would only work with the internal player,
but that works so well for most video types now that that shouldn't be a
problem.

Another option might be to grab the frame at a given offset (say 2
minutes) and use that for any video lacking cover art.

Now if only I had time to write the patch myself...
