undefined method `match' for {}:Hash in itunes_duration=

Can you tell me the URL of the podcast, so I can check exactly what's going on? Thanks.

Just NPR's

Hmm. I'm not getting an error running the code below with syndication 0.6.2:

require 'syndication/rss'
require 'open-uri'

url = 'http://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510284'

parser = Syndication::RSS::Parser.new

xml = nil

open(url) { |http|
  xml = http.read
}

feed = parser.parse(xml)

for i in feed.items
  puts i.enclosure.url
  puts i.enclosure.type
  puts i.enclosure.length
  puts
end

I was using the podcast module.

OK, it seems to be a change in REXML behavior. It used to pass nil when there were no attributes for an opened XML element, now it (at least sometimes) passes an empty list. So it's a more general problem than just the podcast module, I think.

I've uploaded a patch which makes the common.rb code check for empty attribute lists rather than just nil, before dispatching. I'll push it out as a new gem release. Thanks again.

Thanks a ton!
