Use Video Thumbnail as Per-Episode Cover #19

Since according to Apple's specification setting a different cover per episode is also supported.

The tag is also supported at the (episode) level. For best results, Apple recommends embedding the same artwork within the metadata for that episode’s media file prior to uploading to your host server; using Garageband or another content-creation tool to edit your media file if needed.

From my experience, many major podcast clients also support this. I think it would be nice to use a thumbnail of the video as episode cover. This StackOverflow post lists an easy way to get the thumbnails of a known video ID.

I'd be happy to implement this myself, just not right now. This issue mainly serves as a reminder to myself and a survey if you'd be willing to merge this behaviour?
