That really did help. Not the troubleshooting section, but in a subclause it 
was stated that the folder needs the exact name.

I had:

Serien/Es war einmal der Mensch/S1E01 - Eine Neue Welt Ensteht.avi

and renamed it to:

Serien/Es war einmal der... Mensch/S1E01 - Eine Neue Welt Ensteht.avi

That was the whole problem, the dots get removed when calling ttvdb3.py, so 
retrieval works fine. It downloads "Es war einmal... Das Leben Season 
1x1_screenshot.jpg" and writes it into metadata table in db, so everything it 
needs to know is actually there, cover and fanart works also, only the 
screenshot is ignored when folder name with the videos doesn't match the 
actual series name.

Thank you for the wrong hint with the right info beside it, I think this one 
could only be solved by accident. In my eyes this behaviour is a bug, but I'm 
sure it won't be threated as one till a series with a slash in the name comes 
up.
