Not sure if this is the best forum for this, but basically:

-we have 6 TV monitors in our office spread across 2 floors
-there are Chromebits connected to all of them
-right now each are individually controlled
-we'd like to set up a webpage that allows us to control the content on all 6, and be able to modify them as we'd like

I was thinking of hosting an iframe on one of our domains that each of those point to, and then place appropriate webpage within there and have it auto-refresh, but was wondering if there's any better solutions? (I'm not very familiar with iframes)

Having a page that auto-refreshes itself and includes a list of pages to cycle through in a frame would probably be your best bet. You'll need such a page hosted on a centralized web-server or something though.

We tried out something with selenium and Raspberry Pis and it's just too complicated. Terribly error prone, and the Pis have been dropping like flies. (Maybe we got a bad batch...)
