pref automatically generated if none uploaded. otherwise just uploaded.

I see automated screengrab is already in the code. Might be nice to allow overriding this manually.

Absolutely. In RedTurtle Video Youtube extension we grab the image from YoutTube, but the user could change it later.

BTW: probably we can also add here the grabbing image from YouTube (ok... I will probably add another issue for this!)

i want to resume this old issue.. I created a new branch here: https://github.com/collective/wildcard.media/tree/manage_splash_screen and added YouTube thumb grabbing starting from the work made for redturtle.video.

This works fine with remote videos that are already on youtube. With new uploaded videos, there is a problem with thumbnails because it takes some seconds to generate them, and i can't retrieve the image (i get a not found error).

An ugly solution is to make a timeout.sleep(15) here: https://github.com/collective/wildcard.media/blob/manage_splash_screen/wildcard/media/youtube.py#L204

Any ideas?

Could it be a good idea showing the image field like @djay proposed, to allows users to edit it when they wants? If the image is already saved, the automatic grabbing should retry to download it or not?
