Using file entity, I am trying to use DS region-to-block to render the actual file in another region, but I don't get anything displayed.

If I chose other fields on the file entity to render to this region block, they work (I tried tags and descriptions), but I can't get the file to render.

If I drag the file element back to the content region, it displays just fine. I'm not sure if this is a DS extras issue or a file entity issue.

Further experiments have shown that I can use DS to create a 2 column layout, for example, and the video display (my file entity) will display. So I think I've narrowed it down to the block region functions.

Like I said above, I can add other fields of the entity to the region block, just not the file itself, regardless of the display method I chose (download link, simple URL, video html5 tag, video.js player, etc)

I'm getting the same problem trying to show a related sales person on a product page sidebar. I think it might be an extras problem as the error seem sot only happen when you try to render an entity in the created block. Would LOVE to know if there is a fix to this! :)

The current solution is the best we can offer. I'm not planning on extending or changing this code.
