Theater link to Youtube gives error "An error occurred. Please try.."

I am trying to link to a video I posted on youtube using the theater plug-in, but get the error: “An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: 1KxsT1JXGGlF5p2t)”
In backlight I created a new template called “video” in the presentation section I specified presentation type as “Video” and Video Source as “YouTube”.
In Lightroom I already had a TTG publisher set up to publish to my site (http://jblaskyphotography.com/Jerry/) I created a new album within this publisher, chose the just made “video” as the Template. For Video ID I put http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8j4b4ENrgU
I also added one still photo to the album. When I go to my website, the still photo shows as the album cover. Opening the album brings me to a large square outlined in white with a play button in the center. However, clicking this button gives the error “An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: EiSdkQOyLXsunBvE)”

What am I doing wrong?
By the way, pasting the video link into a browser brings me to the proper youtube video.

video id should just be the id number, not the entire url
