I would be very happy if I could script or perhaps use a web call to the running Fling app to start a video on my ChromeCast.

Here's how things would ideally work:
Start Fling, it'll start a web service providing these calls at minimum:

getChromeCasts returns a page with an id and a description of each chromecast discovered.
startStreaming?id=1&file="C:\tmp\video.mpg" (url escaped of course)

Doing this would allow for me to write a simple .net app that I can browse with my phone, and in the future an android app that allows me to select a video file and launches it on the ChromeCast.

Alternatively, a command line option would work as well, but would be a bit more clunky.

Caster supports both a command-line interface and a REST API: https://github.com/entertailion/Caster

That's exactly what I want. Is it working with the latest changes from
Google? I tried putting in my api key, but no devices get returned. I tried
both my server IP and 192.168.1.255 for broadcast_ip and still nothing gets
returned.

Caster does not have a broadcast_ip option.

There's a hardcoded broadcast ip of 239.255.255.250.. leaving that or
changing it to 192.168.1.255 to match my subnet do not work.

java -jar caster.jar -l -v -id "my app key"
Main: that app key

The broadcast ip is required for the discovery protocol and shouldn't be changed.
What is your computer's IP address and your ChromeCast IP address?

Computer: 192.168.1.105

The router might be blocking the broadcast messages. Try the "-d" option to play media on the device by specifying the ip address.

Looks like you have another live network interface 192.168.56.1
That is being selected for the local streaming address instead
of 192.168.1.105

You were right. I stopped a virtual nic, and I found out something else was
using port 8080, and stopped that service. When your app is running I start
a download of video.avi when I go to 192.168.1.105:8080/video.avi on my pc,
so that's apparently working fine.

Here's the latest dump:
