Issues playing assets in On Demand state with UDP commands

I followed along with this video but got stuck with the On Demand state not playing videos according to keys retrieved from UDP commands: https://vimeo.com/555971192?fl=pl&fe=cm

Here's my current zone layout. Zone 1 should be playing videos from the On Demand list.  

The following screenshot shows my UDP event properties along with the Variables of the presentation:

This next screenshot shows the On Demand state and how it contains the 3 videos I want to play. It also shows that the "Use a variable to specify the key" checkbox is checked with the variable being var1. 

Zone 2 simply serves as a zone to display live text of the user variable var1 and what is being read as incoming UDP packets come in (similar to what the video shows). Here's a screenshot of it:

 

Zone 3 simply displays one of the videos on a loop to ensure the video files themselves can be correctly displayed. 

My issue comes when I publish the presentation onto a microSD card and boot up the BrightSign. The text in Zone 2 correctly shows that UDP packets are being read (text for "var1: " and "message: " labels update as UDP packets are sent) but no video plays on Zone 1. I'm not sure where I went wrong, shouldn't the videos in the OnDemand list be playing as packets are being sent in?

    I’m experiencing an issue with playing assets in the On Demand state using UDP commands. I followed the tutorial video, but my setup isn’t working as expected. In my layout, Zone 1 is supposed to play videos from the On Demand list based on keys received via UDP. I have configured a variable (var1) and enabled the option to use it as the key for the On Demand content. Zone 2 correctly displays incoming UDP data, confirming that packets are being received and the variable is updating in real
