the problem you will run into when automatically thumbing videos is that the software usually takes the first frame of the video. (kind of like Windows Explorer thumb view)

And now with the the 2257 info being required at the beginning of each video, that even messes things up more.

It's probably possible to code the script to take the thumb so many seconds into the video, but that is sort of like Russian Roulette approach at selecting a good frame for a thumbnail.

Somethings still have to be done by hand unfortunately.
