I'm struggling with trying to find a way to use emfields inbuild xml wrapper to read the mangled xml feed that veoh supplies for it's video details. It's not in a normal readable format by most parsers from what I can find, which is causing a big problem with trying to cache the info...or at least, that's how it seems at the moment.

an average veoh video info page can be found here:
http://www.veoh.com/rest/video/v831782W7CC6yez/details

If anyone cares to take a look at it. Any advice/help/guidance/etc on how this could be managed with emfields provider api, it would be highly appreciated. Otherwise we'll all just have to keep sticking with my slow substr hack that's implemented at the moment, which I'm a bit ashamed of heh. The current method's killing the performance on my site, so I went ahead and marked this critical since I'm sure a lot of us could benefit from an improvement in this, some more than others I have no doubts heh.

The Veoh provider was removed per http://drupal.org/node/457608 -- feel free to submit a new provider file as a patch or (better yet) an external module using emfield's API.
