        'name' => 'Some name',
        'caption' => 'Some caption',
        'picture' => 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/2raioEC7Hms/default.jpg',
        'source' => 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2raioEC7Hms', //the video to embed
        'description' => 'Some desc',
    'type' => 'video',
        'actions' => array(
            'name' => 'My app ',
            'link' => 'http://apps.facebookcom/mydummyapp'),

You need to extract the URL of the actual video to pass it for source, not the YT page

It appears that you can generate a valid source and picture from the page URL. The URL looks like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=; take the code (2raioEC7Hms here) and insert it into the URLs http://www.youtube.com/e/ for the source. In this case, http://www.youtube.com/e/2raioEC7Hms
