Workaround for using cover-art-files in video files?

[MiniatureEge2006]

Because of a commit back then that now prohibits cover art files to work on video files which I'm sure won't be reverted, is there another workaround for this?

The cover art is still added as a video track. It's just not automatically selected by default. You can simply use --vid=2 assuming the video file in question only has one video track and you're adding just one extra cover art file.

Alright, good to know. In the case for youtube URLs I will have to use --script-opt=ytdl_hook-all_formats=no for this.
