Parsing Custom node value through SimplePie

Question

I am parsing yahoo media rss feeds through SimplePie library. I had a need to add custom node named <category> as a child node to <title>. Now I need to parse the content of that node every time through the loop... Here is a structure of my feed

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
  <channel>
   .....
   .....
    <item>
      <title></title>
      <link></link>
      ....
      <media:content>
      ...
      </media:content>
      <category>one</category> 
    </item>
    <item>
      <title>...</title>
      <link>...</link>
      ....
      <media:content>
      ...
      </media:content>
      <category>two</category> 
    </item> 
  </channel>
</rss> 

My task is to parse the content of the <category> nodes I have tried using $item->get_item_tags() the following way, but no luck, I get null in return

$cat_get= $item->get_item_tags('http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/',
            'item');
            $cat_get_node = $category1[0]['child']['http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/']['category'];
            $cat_content = $category2[0]['data'];

Any direction will be helpful...

Try this instead, as the element is in the root namespace.

$cat = $item->get_item_tags(SIMPLEPIE_NAMESPACE_RSS20, 'category');
$cat_content = $cat[0]['child'];
