It appears atomicparsley is installed and working correctly.  As you 
noted earlier, you only get a separate jpg file if you use --thumb. 
Otherwise, it's deleted after atomicparsley runs.  Most programmes have 
a thumbnail of some sort available.  I'd be pretty surprised if VLC is 
really showing a different thumbnail than the one retained with --thumb. 
  There is only one thumbnail downloaded per episode, so I can't think 
where an alternate image would come from.  You'll have to provide a 
reproducible test case to convince me of that.
