What version of SageTV are you using? There is an update for the default v6.3.10 UI in a sticky at the top of this forum section.

What STV are you using? That info is shown on the System Info screen -- use the Info command while on the Main Menu.

If the STV has been updated to the one I mentioned above, what is an example video that isn't playing?

System Info shows that you are not using the updated STV. Please update the STV and try it again -- the sticky thread I pointed you to has instructions for how to install and use the updated STV.

I'm using 6.5.3 and I've had this issue for as long as I can remember.
Do I also have to update my STV?

What STV are you using? If it isn't the most recent default STV, you will probably have problems with online videos.

Try it with an uncustomized default STV.

Then the next question would be: what videos are you having this problem with? I think some videos from Google and/or YouTube require a password to play, perhaps for something considered to be adult content or other limited access content. Google may even link to videos from sites where SageTV can't access the video. If this is from Google Video or YouTube, try playing the same video in a web browser & see what happens.
