What is the best way to generate youtube playlist rss feeds for an iOS app?

At the moment I am using the following format:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/YOUR_YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_NUMBER

But doesn't seem to be as widely compatible as other feed data urls I have used.

Just used the following format:

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=YOUR_YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_NUMBER

Make sure YOUR_YOUTUBE_PLAYLIST_NUMBER starts with 'PL'.

https://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=apIoMHXBxJ_KAfZL7re4ARls6wOC756q

or

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLapIoMHXBxJ_KAfZL7re4ARls6wOC756q

becomes

https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=PLapIoMHXBxJ_KAfZL7re4ARls6wOC756q
