Error parsing <itunes:duration> when value is an integer.

[jmsalcido]

The example docs of the podcast from itunes returns an integer value: https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itcbaf351599

When trying to parse a file with that format (anchor.fm uses the integer value) you receive an error: See:

I uploaded the sample file from Apple here: https://gist.github.com/jmsalcido/30d76adba744e4e445331a6710136476

Still their own file is invalid... so, not possible to reproduce it with it.

Anyway I have a rss feed from Anchor.fm, and received this error while parsing it on my rails app:

RSS::NotAvailableValueError: value <1947> of tag <duration> is not available.
from /home/jmsalcido/.rbenv/versions/2.6.5/lib/ruby/2.6.0/rss/itunes.rb:345:in `rescue in content='

If you want to replicate it, you can use my RSS feed from anchor.fm: https://anchor.fm/s/a6578b8/podcast/rss

Same error while using irb.

Could you try rss 0.2.9 gem?

0.2.9 will resolve this.
