Hello, I've seen several posts about running a media player of one kind or another to the top box monitor of a BB2, but when I look closely, most seem to be doing this for a BB1 conversion. Has anyone had success doing this for a native BB2 monitor and cabinet?
It doesn't seem like it would matter, but I've went through two media players and various raspberry pi/screenly configurations and each time results similarly. Set up works great on TV or computer monitor I hook it to my bb2 cabinet and it either fails miserably or works for a couple minutes then fails miserably. Once it's failed, the device no longer works on a tv or monitor. For the raspberry pi, I can clear the OS, and reload it and repeat the cycle so it doesn't appear to be causing hardware failure, it seems more likely that the communication between the software and the monitor is somehow corrupting data on whatever device is talking to it.
I am doing this so I can display a non sideways Alice. So an alternate theory is that fate and the universe have conspired in such a way that me + BB2 + Alice will always end in painstaking trouble shooting.
My gut is that the alternate theory is the more accurate one.
