Issue Summary

I have looked through the issue queue and don't think anything about this - but seems so obvious i am assuming i am just going baout this the wrong way.

I would like to include channel info in each node that gets created from a feed. But as far as i can tell only the xml node fields are available to map to cck fields.

for instance:

<rss version="2.0">
  <channel>
    <title>AviationWeek.com Business Aviation Channel</title>

so from example above i would like to fill a cck field for each node created with the Channel title. Ideally i would also like to pull the channel image into the node.

You could write your own parser. The instructions are here: http://drupal.org/node/622700 (Section: Implementation of a feeds plugin). The sample code provides enough code to get you started.

#1 is right - you could either extend or patch FeedsSyndicationParser and FeedsSimplePieParser. In fact, I would accept a patch that makes feed level information available as mapping source.

This issue is a duplicate:
