Hi, looking for a point in the right direction on this issue. I have a new build of Homeseer that I'm trying out to replace my Vera box.. must say I've loving it so far. I've got 3 Chromecast devices only 2 of which are active on the LAN at present. Both are never showing as connected but earlier today I did see the status was updated on the Nexus player when both Youtube and Plex when in use but I don't think the play/pause controls worked. Just now I've had the Chromecast Audio connected up for 2 hours and its not updating at all. Again all still showing as Disconnected. I've also turned off the "Last Change time" option and they don't seem to be being polled very often. Over 90 minutes ago at present.

Networking
Sonicwall TZ300N, Homeseer and Chromecasts on the same subnet with the Wifi in bridged mode to the LAN subnet. UDP and TCP session times have been set to 5 minutes and 30 minutes respectively. All Chromecasts have static DHCP reservations but just dynamic ARP entries at present.
The server itself is an ESXi VM on a Dell server running Ubuntu 16.04LTS, I had to install mono-complete in order to get the plugin to work:
~$ mono --version
Mono JIT compiler version 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1.102+dfsg2-7ubuntu4)
