Hello!

I am using three web pages all redirecting to the next one in a loop to display information on a TV in our church. It´s usually working fine for a few hours, but then it might happen that one page fails to load and the redirecting thread is lost and the TV is just displaying a white page with a load error message. If I manually reload the page it will start the display loop as intended once more.

I have been trying out one of the tab reload add-ons and it will probably work fine, but it might result in premature reloads or still that the TV will show load error messages for some time before the timer kicks in, depending on how long reload window I choose.

I have been looking all over the Internet but can not find any option to automatically reload a tab or page only when connection to server is lost.

Anyone who has some insights or suggestions about this?

You say "I have been looking all over the Internet but can not find any option to automatically reload a tab or page only when connection to server is lost." Is it practicable, instead of using redirecting, to use a manual link with an appropriate label such as 'next'?
