+1 for using matroska cover for thumbnails. It's the way it's meant to be used and it's already been implemented for mp4, so why not support it if it's not too much problem? (it should be much easier and less buggy than decoding a video stream and capture a frame)

Take for example matroska tags: a very powerful and flexible feature, but there's not a single program capable of reading them, and not even a single program to edit them. You can write them manually only to discover that all mediacenters out there must try to scrape the net for information that are already there.
Many advanced mkv features are currently not used because no program supports them... and if there's no way to use them, nobody will. And if nobody uses them, no one will write tools to take advantage of them. It's a vicious circle that must be broken somehow
