If you want a project why don't you take over my custom tv-server thumbnailer plugin. It would be cool if someone could make it into an actual plugin for tv-server.

I programmed it all in .batch so it's quite ugly and could do being professionalized....

After recording ends it gets trigged
Looks in a special folder to see if already existing image for show using %showname%.jpg
Otherwise searches internet for thumbnail and uses fanart.tv "thumb" or thetvdb background fanart (shrunk)
If it finds image then it stores it in the special folder for any future recordings.
If no tvshow image can either use a special folder containing images for each channel or can create a screenshot thumbnail from the video.
User can replace images in the special folders if wanting to use custom image.

The plugin could be expanded so that it also supports running handbrake on the recording (if recording not deleted after X days and there is no episode management set to delete the recording), compressing it into a .mp4 file (takes 1/3rd the size), and then changing the tvserver database to point to the .mp4 file instead of the .ts file.

At the moment the internet lookups is broken, I have to fix it as something happened to the scripts I was using.
