Some RSS Handler feeds are different from YouTube's

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Subscribe to any youtube feed that is day over day.
2. View the hyperlink that RSSHandler provides for USER 25/50 Items, Published
3. Note that the latest video posted is missing from <items> XML. Compare to 
youtube Web interface 
4. Video Posted at 6:00 AM  not showing in XML feed at Noon. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
# See the most current video

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
# Windows/Viewing XML feed via Chrome

Please provide any additional information below.
# This maybe a Youtube issue that the new Item is not showing up as it may be 
processing or something stupid like that.  It maybe that case because the 
latest video did show up like 18 Hours later with no newer item bumping it to 
the #2 Spot.

I'm having the same problem: I'm using 1.13 and the feed hasn't recognized 
three new videos on a particular feed, one of them being over a day old.

Same here, using 3.0.1.17, Win XP.

Seems like an issue with YT's API. I've checked the RSS feeds from YT directly, 
and indeed it's missing the most recent videos, and RSS handler is providing 
the exact results.

This is the url to directly access the original RSS feed for a user:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/USER_NAME/uploads

RSS Handler should match the results in this feed, if not then there might be a 
bug somewhere.

So.... Are you saying it is youtube API issue or a Handler Issue?  From what I 
saw the Youtube stuff was right and the RSS feed from Handler was missing them.

Seems like a Youtube issue, but not 100% sure because I didn't check many 
feeds. The feeds I've checked directly from youtube are matched exactly by rss 
handler.

If you or someone else can find a mismatch between this feed:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/USER_NAME/uploads   // replace 
USER_NAME with a channel name

and the one generated by RSS Handler, then it might be related to RSS Handler.

Attached is two files one from RSS Handler and the other using the URL you 
provided..  It shows that "February 19, 2013" is missing from the RSS output 
but is in the youtube feed.  So not really sure.  There must be some text or 
something that causes it to fail to process. Unsure what the deal is.  Because 
this guy puts one out every day. And since Sunday I have not received an update 
since today and today I received most of them except "February 19, 2013" .  
Really odd..  But it is in the feed.

Confirmed. I'll take a look at it.

Today I went in and saw that  "February 19, 2013" was there! How Odd, So I 
recaptured and I compared the differences between the two sets and really 
didn't see anything that would say Ah ha! So I am forwarding the files to you 
in hopes maybe a second set of eyes may help.   I renamed the file a little to 
show capture dates. Hope it helps.

Of course it will help. Thank you for the feedback.

I'm still not able to locate the issue. For anyone interested in debugging 
this, attached is a python script that compares the feed titles returned by RSS 
handler to those in gdata's feed.
