It seems like all the pieces are there, but nobody's put them together completely yet..
I'd like to automatically generate a post thumbnail (featured image) based on embedded video within the post
This plugin generates a thumbnail from a youtube video:

And in this thread, neononcon describes how to do it manually:

Is there any way we could do this automatically? Perhaps by replacing featured_image's image field with the thumbnail generated by Youtube-Thumbnailer?
