Like many I have been trying to have my Blip.TV RSS feed autopopulate nodes on my site. The feed comes in fine, I can see the title and even the description but the embedded video field just won't come through.

When I edit a node item that has been created by the feed the field for the Blip.TV file (which I have mapped the original_url to the embedded video field) that field is empty.

Everything I am using is up to date as of October 20, 2010.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I stumbled on this searching for an answer to this problem. I managed to figure it out, so here's a response a year late that might help someone:

You need the grab the link in the <comments> field of the Blip.tv RSS, not the one from <link>. Emfield expects the URL to start with "http://blip.tv/file" otherwise it will not validate and as a consequence not get saved. The regular Feeds importer doesn't allow you to map from the comments field, so you need to use feeds_xpathparser or something similar to get to it.
