Hi,

I need to parse an rss feed for a podcast. I get this error ‘prefix  
 doesn’t associate uri \<\> in tag ’ when I use the  
following:

--------------controller-------------------------  
def podcasts  
require ‘rss’  
require ‘open-uri’

```
@uffeed = RSS::Parser.parse(

```

‘[Urban Fusion's Podcast](http://urbanfusionentertainment.podomatic.com/rss2.xml)’ )

end

-------------view---------------------------------

\<%= @uffeed %\>  
\<% @uffeed.items.each do |item| %\>  
\<%= item.title %\>  
\<% end %\>

Does anybody know if I need to require different files for a podcast rss  
feed or something as I can’t find any documentation regarding this  
online.

Many Thanks for your help.

Did you ever get an answer to your question? I’m about to start work  
on parsing a podcast xml feed…
