youtube search - sort by video playtime

The youtube search does a good job of searching videos. In its search page, it allows you to search by popularity/ratings/date. I have found that videos with longer playing time are usually the ones I am interested in, however, there is no option to sort the results by playing time.

I did a bit of digging in the Youtube Developer's guide and saw that they give the length of the video in seconds. The next piece was Yahoo! Pipes. I created a pipe which would fetch videos from youtube and then passes the results through the sort operator to sort the results based on the yt:duration field. Tada! That gives me videos matching my search criteria near the top.

      Hey Gwen - this is a good catch. I can see the same issue. Looks like Yahoo! pipes has broken the RSS viewer in some way and the pipe cannot show results :-( . Let me tweak this thing over the weekends and see if I can do a workaround.

    Doesn't work.

    I get a list with results which looks legid, but each result links to the original pipe page (http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/pipe.info?_id=JoYmVVSR3BGU2l8AxQnzeQ) and nothing links to youtube. (and te titles are too ambiguous to search the titles on youtube)
