Casting to Chromecast

I installed the Chromium browser from ports and installed the Google cast extension on it. However I cannot get my Chromecast to show up when I click on the cast icon. I do have pf running but disabled it temporarily for this test. The Chromecast is working and visible from other devices. I'm running 10.1 p12 with everything updated. Anyone here try this?
 
It used to work here. Now, with Chromium 43.x it doesn't, it just says "no devices found". (Yes, the Chromecast works from other devices)

tingo@kg-core1$ uname -a

chromium-43.0.2357.124  =  up-to-date with port
(with the patches from Bug 200601)
 
Thanks, yes something is wrong. I must say the FreeBSD port seems extremely buggy, with many issues like random segfaults, high CPU usage, etc.
 
Ok, I just installed the Google cast extension in Chromium 42.0.2311.135 on another machine - it doesn't find my Chromecast either So now I'm really not sure when it stopped working.
