Question

How can I read XML from YouTube? I tried the following.

 $xml = new XMLReader();
 $xml->open('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/1uwOL4rB-go');

 $r = array();
 while($xml->read()) {
     $r[] = array($xml->name => $xml->value);
 }

I got this far but it doesnt get the necesary info I need like video duration.

Answer 1

The duration is stored in the yt:duration node, under the media:group aggregate.

What language are you using? There are client libraries created by Google for Java, .NET, Python, PHP, and Objective-C. There is also WebService::YouTube on CPAN if you are using Perl.
