Extracting an attribute from top level node of a Feedme XML feed using template I'm trying to extract an attribute from a top level XML node but having some difficulty.

Given some XML:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;slots&gt;
  &lt;slot start="Monday" finish="Tuesday"&gt;
    &lt;title id="1234"&gt;John&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/slot&gt;
  &lt;slot start="Thursday" finish="Friday"&gt;
    &lt;title id="5678"&gt;Fred&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/slot&gt;
&lt;/slots&gt; 


and some Twig:

{% set params = {
        url: 'http://above.xml',
        type: 'xml',
} %}
{% set feed = craft.feedme.feed(params) %}


I can extract values and attributes from the inner nodes

{{feed.slots.slot.0.title.attributes.id}}
{{feed.slots.slot.0.title}}


which yields 1234 John as I would expect. But now, how do I get the attributes from the slot node e.g. I want the 'Monday'. I've tried something like

{{feed.slots.slot.0.attributes.start}}


but that just throws an error.

EDIT: If I change the XML (remove the inner title nodes) to

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
&lt;slots&gt;
  &lt;slot start="Monday" finish="Tuesday"&gt;
  &lt;/slot&gt;
  &lt;slot start="Thursday" finish="Friday"&gt;
  &lt;/slot&gt;
&lt;/slots&gt; 


then 

{{feed.slots.slot.0.attributes.start}}


works. So maybe the question now is how do I extract attributes from a node that has sub-nodes?
It appears now that this is an issue with the plugin being unable to read attributes of a node which has sub-nodes. The developer has noted this, and will hopefully post a fix. In the meantime as work around I used a short php script on the server to call the XML file first and rework the data into a format that the plugin can read.
