Error: The YouTube video ID is invalid or the video was deleted.

http://www.youtube.com/oembed?url=http%3A//youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DhBzx4... returns 401 Unauthorized. I am not certain why, as testing against other urls appears to work fine. Maybe the video is private?

I was having this issue as well. It's happening on videos that have embedding disabled. Here's a patch that adds a specific error message for this case.

This happens to my installation as well. However it works fine when I tried it from home where there's no proxy or any firewall blocking the network. It happens only when I tried the same thing from a corporate environment.

Note: I have enabled and configured http_proxy module and my installation is able to perform module update running under corporate environment.
