Great solution ! Thanks for taking the time to share it :D Don't worry about necroing the thread, it's great to get several different perspectives, as I know a similar job will come around again when we can travel more freely!
How would you trigger the "Big Screen" image check? CRON? OR just "listen" for an image upload?
If I'm limited to just HTTP (so no websockets, server push schemes, or custom protocols) then I would just have the "Big Screen" regularly poll (aka cron) for a new image (maybe 10 seconds?).
If we can use websockets or similar, then that opens the door for fun things of the server notifying screens that new images are available (but then the screen would still make the "request" to get that new image so that it always goes through the same consistent process)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
