I am sorry in advance for what is surely my own stupidity, but I have honestly spent the good part of my day Ring TFMs - *all* TFMs - and I am at a loss.

I have been trying to use feeds and feeds_mediarss to import thumbnails and video IDs, etc., from a BrightCove playlist. I have finally got it to a point where everything shows up as it should, and I am even getting the URL for the thumbnail, but I want to import the actual thumbnail image, and it will not happen. I have created a field for it, tried using Feed Image Grabber (but that was totally off, as there is no HTML page for the playlist feed)...

I have attached a screenshot of everything BUT the image upload working. Is there no way to cram/upload/migrate/copy/whatever the thumbnail image that BrightCove has into the field?

Please point out the obvious and even laugh at me if it comes with the answer to my problem. My brain hurts.

Thanks a bazillion.

Not entirely sure what the markup looks like but have you tried using something like xpath parser in combination with feeds image grabber?

Dale, sir:

I was looking at the xpath parsing, but I am new to it. Perhaps I will try that instead.
I am not sure about Feeds Image Grabber, tho, as I tried it and it seems to want to grab the image from a website (HTML) rather than a feed, and the feed I am working with does not have a corresponding HTML page.

I have attached an example...

Any advice would be gratefully accepted. I have the URLs to the thumbs, so why I should not be able to grab them easily and insert them stymies me.
