Description
** What steps will reproduce the problem?
To reproduce, download the attached file and run:
python -m feedparser file:///Path/to/media_title_error.xml
** What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
For example, the attached file has a media:content element, with a media:title
element inside. This produces this list of entries:
[{
'media_content': [{'medium': u'image',
'url': u'http://example.com/image.jpg'}],
'title': u'MAIN TITLE',
'title_detail': {'base': u'file://Path/to/media_title_error.xml',
'language': None,
'type': 'text/plain',
'value': u'MAIN TITLE'}}],
I would expect the title of the media_content element to appear:
[{'media_content': [{'medium': u'image',
'url': u'http://example.com/image.jpg'
'title': u'MEDIA TITLE'}],
'title': u'MAIN TITLE',
'title_detail': {'base': u'file://Path/to/media_title_error.xml',
'language': None,
'type': 'text/plain',
'value': u'MAIN TITLE'}}],
** What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using feedparser-5.0.1 on Python 2.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.6. I also tried SVN
HEAD with the same result.
** Please provide any additional information below.
If the parent feed item doesn't have a title element, the media:title content
appears as the item's title instead. This suggests that this bug is related to
issue #76:

Research direction
Start by running python -m feedparser with the attached media_title_error.xml and inspect how media:title is handled inside media:content. Confirm the expected result: the media item gets its own title while the parent entry keeps MAIN TITLE; also check the reported behavior when the parent has no title.】【。
