I use bulk upload to create media nodes on my drupal 7.25 site and works fine. Have several 1000 media type nodes.
I have a feeds importer that grabs an .xml file and updates all movie metadata fields on my media content type nodes.

Right now I must edit each media content type node one at a time to enter the Feed URL. Then save, click import, click import again to run the importer and update the media node. Updating of each node one at a time works great, but will take forever with a couple thousand nodes.

Is there a way to automate this process?

My media node titles are all of the same format "movie title year"
the feed url I enter is: "http://my.server.com/movie.php?m=movie title year & o=xml"
This gets the xml file that the feed importer processes and populates all of the media content type fields.

Any way to auto populate the feed url field that the feed imported added to my media content type?

Once the initial uploaded media is updated I have no problem doing individual uploads the manual way to update their metadata.
This is just for administrator to perform. No user interaction.
Thanks

Am I to give up on drupal and scrap the entire website project and try something else.

Support seems to be very limited.

I have posted server questions on this request or topic and no replys.

The feeds importer module seems to be great. Why can you not set a default URL?

Why is the field inserted in my content type not accessible by rules or any other process.

Its a required file on the node is created, why can't we set a default in the field?

Very frustrated at this point with drupal and support.
