Parse Youtube atom feeds on Ruby

Question

I use http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/1i8s245jxRE which return an atom feed to get statistics from youtube. It works in Python using feedparser. Is there any equivalent gem to do it in Ruby?

I tried simple-rss and get SimpleRSSError: Poorly formatted feed. I also tried feedzirra and it return a nil object?

Thanks

Did you forgot open the feed?

rss = SimpleRSS.parse(open(File.join(RAILS_ROOT, "public/............./feed.xml"))

maybe you need: require 'open-uri'
