I hope that's not the actual link you're using.
Try this:

That's because you need the absolute URI of the mp4 or flv file associated with the youtube clip. Try a WebBrowser component, and make it navigate to a link like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkDD03yeLnU

Replace /watch?v= with /v/, so like this:

https://www.youtube.com/v/hkDD03yeLnU
