[YouTube-API] Re: Retrieving Playlist ID given a Playlist Feed

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. I face a similar problem with v1 response too. I
am okay with using the v1 response if it avoids the above "hack". I
can access the ns:0 elements on the XML but I am not sure how to
access ns:1 elements. Any help with that regard?
