Just on the possibility that this is Platform Invoke related, would you mind trying:

In Platform\Linux\NativeMethods.cs

change

public static extern int poll(pollfd[] fds, IntPtr nfds, int timeout);

public static extern int poll([In][Out] pollfd[] fds, IntPtr nfds, int timeout);

`fds[0].revents` is always 0

So far I have only tested on x64, can try on ARM later.

Hmm. I am not encountering this problem on Linux Mint 19. (Are you running 32 or 64-bit? Which architecture?)

"if (0 != (fds[0].revents & NativeMethods.pollev.IN))" runs in an endless loop? What is the value of fds[0].revents? Thanks!

So in my case revents always equals 0 in this check:

`if (0 != (fds[0].revents & NativeMethods.pollev.IN))`

And if I remove this check, all is fine.

Also note that once a device is connected this code is executed in an endless loop,

Sorry to get back to this so late.
Was using my version so forgot about the issue.
Now I switched back to your latest version (since you solved some other issues)
and found that this issue still exists.

Very odd. What is revents returning for you, then?
Also, is it blocking in poll in your version, or blocking in udev_monitor_receive_device? Thanks!

Without modification `DeviceList.Local.Changed` does not get triggered on Ubuntu 18.04

Filename: `LinuxHidManager.cs`
Line: ~69

This is the code in the current version

if (0 != (fds[0].revents & (NativeMethods.pollev.ERR | NativeMethods.pollev.HUP | NativeMethods.pollev.NVAL))) { break; }                       
if (0 != (fds[0].revents & NativeMethods.pollev.IN))
{                                
    IntPtr device = NativeMethodsLibudev.Instance.udev_monitor_receive_device(monitor);
    if (device != null)
    {                                    
        NativeMethodsLibudev.Instance.udev_device_unref(device);
        DeviceList.Local.RaiseChanged();
    }
}

The following line never returns true:

if (0 != (fds[0].revents & NativeMethods.pollev.IN))

However, if I disable this check I get proper change notification and no exceptions.
Basically, the following version works:

if (ret == 1)
{

    if (0 != (fds[0].revents & (NativeMethods.pollev.ERR | NativeMethods.pollev.HUP | NativeMethods.pollev.NVAL))) { break; }                       

                                   
   IntPtr device = NativeMethodsLibudev.Instance.udev_monitor_receive_device(monitor);
    if (device != null)
    {                                    
        NativeMethodsLibudev.Instance.udev_device_unref(device);
        DeviceList.Local.RaiseChanged();
    }
   
}

Do you see any issue with this?

PS: Again, it would be really great if you had an official git repo for this, it is such a useful project.
