Answer 1

This thread describes how you can get the current playing time of a video using the YouTube API Getting Current YouTube Video Time

Then maybe use setInterval() to run every second to check the value of getCurrentTime() from the API and if value = 6 set the src to the new video.

Answer 2

this should be solved with setInterval(), not setTimeout().

using the latest youtube iFrame API:

var player;
var checkInt; // save this as a var in this scope so we can clear it later
function onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() {
   player = new YT.Player('player');
   startInterval()
}

function startInterval() {
   //checks every 100ms to see if the video has reached 6s
   checkInt = setInterval(function() {
      if (player.getCurrentTime() > 6) {
         changeSrc();
         clearInterval(checkInt);
      };
   }, 100)
}

function changeSrc() {
   player.loadVideoById(xxxxx);
}
