java.net.SocketTimeoutException could mean a connection issue and a bug in the code. It would need more information to debug this issue.
If you have a support contract with Google, please create an issue in the support console instead of filing on GitHub. This will ensure a timely response.

The youtube team is also providing support over Stack Overflow.
