Topic: DCP Playback Warning "Code 3" on Fraunhofer EasyDCP Player

Hy everybody,
I've came across a Warning Massage from the Fraunhofer DCP Player, after successfully creating a DCP with Open DCP. Here my specs:

Product Version: 0.30.0
GUI or CLI: GUI
Operating system: Win 7 64 Bit

After creating, the file is played well. But still I get a Warning "code 3". I don't want to buy the whole player for 1000 Euro, just to get an exakt description of the warning message. So I googled, that this massage could have to do with the Metadata that I write just before exporting the final DCP. I tried everything, from entering a full metadata linie (the DCP title), then just a short DCP title descrition, filling in an "issuer", not filling in an issuer... but whatever I enter, I always get these warning massage in the Fraunhofer Player.
So I don't know if my DCP would run on every cinema system. I can play it on the software, but maybe the cinemas would reject it, due to this problem...

Here you can see the warning massage:

And here are the two links for both DCP XML files. Maybe someone can spot a mistake:

Thank you for your help! Maik

From what I recall these warnings are about the title. There are no requirements on title, so a DCP should never fail for that reason. If it does, then the server itself is non-compliant.

Well, thanks for your answer. That was my assumption too. So I think, I will check it on one cinema server system and hope, that my DCP works well on other systems too.
