Okay, I tried a KDM created by KDM-Studio, and it didn’t work. Same result as with the KDMs created by DCP-o-matic directly.

I don’t create KDMs too often, so I had to rethink the whole process, here is what I did:

I had created the SONY as a screen in KDM Studio before. 
For the same DCP-o-matic project I created SMPTE KDMs for, I created a DKDM using the certificate KDM-Studio provides. No complaints. I created a new screen in DCP-o-matic using this certificate, and created a KDM (DKDM) for it. I created a new production and booking in KDM Studio with this DKDM. I made sure all the windows fit.

Then issued KDMs, received them via email (see below), and ingested them on the Sony. Ingested the feature on the Sony. KDM was shown attached to the feature as in all my previous Sony tests. Tried to play - got the same result…

I will now try to replicate this same process with IOP.
