I don't know how to fix it, but this is what mythweb does:

     <yourBE>:6544/Content/GetPreviewImage?ChanId=1051&StartTime=2015-04-16T02:00:00Z&Height=120&Width=160

and if you do mythbackend --setverbose upnp 1st and then tail your
BE log while doing the GetPreviewImage above in a browser, you
can see if any errors fire. Obviously try on a working image 1st.

Looks line the Services API gets the actual filename from the DB based on
the ChanId and StartTime. So that <should> work with 0.24 filenames (even
though the filenames themselves weren't converted to UTC the DB entries
were in 0.26.) [ https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/UTC ]

There may be entries in you BE log already. I'd check there 1st (there are
4 messages that can print without the upnp logging component.)

The above based on 0.28-pre. Mileage/vary etc.
