Could you gurus help to set up ThumbGen to automatically create only screenshots with movie thumbnailer (mtn) without trying to scrape info from databases?
 I want to automatically create movie cards for lots of movies (home videos, youtube downloads) that do not exist in database (no jukeboxes can scrape from YouTube yet? Smiley ).
Or should I let it create those screenshots as fanart and have Y2M pick them up for jukebox?
Help me understand my options and set the programs up.

All right, I will explain in meanwhile.
Why I want that? Because I watch most of the movies once and I don't see point in spending time mastering the movie wall. I want to have programs run automatically and scrape info. If info does not exist I want random screenshots taken from movie for art.

So looking at ThumbGen I see option to create screenshots from movie
            
also I see options about automatic 3 screenshots
            

and I use function that seems to suit me right:
            
but I keep getting only folder.jpg. I am not going into numerous options I have tried because they are obviously wrong.

Only succeeded to get what I wanted in manual mode, where I went to results page and clicked on Get random thumb on My own movie snapshots
          
Same about backdrops: needed automatically.

So how to make all this work automatically: 100% matches scraped from the internets and not existing made from random screenshots.
