I've created the Feeds Files module to allow someone to import files/media directly into file entities. I currently have it successfully importing a YouTube feed with full Media module support.

I have it as a separate module at the moment, but wanted to touch base to make sure there isn't any overlap between functionality.

Did you see #1861106: Adding an Entity Processor to Media Feeds??

With the new Entity Processor in Feeds, you are duplicating some functionality that is currently being added to Feeds... mainly the ability to target and map fields to an entity. While fields added to an entity using FAPI are mappable by default, fields defined by the entity are not. So there is still a need to extend the mappable fields.

Did you look at extending FeedsEntityProcessor instead of FeedsProcessor?

I completely forgot to mention it. My code is basically a stop gap until something like #1033202: [Meta] Generic entity processor hits release.

I've updated the Feeds Files module description to note the wait for the entity handling release of Feeds.
