It isn’t possible to reload their browser but you could have an ajax call that periodically checks for updated content. But that sounds like a huge waste of resources for such an unlikely event.

Would it be a good idea to begin with, to reload the page while someone is reading?
Maybe this will explain better, some context. Its gonna be a page with an embed live streaming video of an event. When that streaming is over a new one will replace that one for a live streaming video of a forum discussion for the video that was already played.
Maybe, someone have a better idea. I was suggested to reload the page and replace 1 feed for the other.
My first idea is or was simple. Make a timer <meta> reload of 900ss, BAM, problem solve. But the problem is, the 1st live feed doesn’t have an specific time to cut and predict how many seconds i will need. So i tough, “hell some ajax”. But im not sure anymore.
Like always, i end up here for suggestions. 😉
thnx guys…
