- - Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4 (https://www.displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=65890)

Does not support all WiFi environments

To fix the below I connected to a different wireless network. the corporate WiFi has 802.1x authentication and I think this breaks airplay for display link - Oddly I have no issues Using reflector 3 to airplay to my mac over the same network.

This is the article I followed to enable the DisplayLink Airplay functionality:

However I only ever see DisplayLinkStop now even when Airplay has not been activated and never just DisplayLink:

I have poked around in settings, carried out many reboots and tried changing when the DisplayLink device is connected nothing works. :(

10.13.5 Beta - 4.3 beta WORKS!

The "how to" instructions for 10.13.4 beta 3 DOES work for 10.13.5.

Thanks!

At least I'm back to semi-normal.

Fascinating work-around.

What use to be plug and play is now jump through hoops, not very user friendly. 1080p looks hideous on my 25" screen. Its progress DL but you have a way to go yet to get this fixed.

Thanks you,

I did follow the instructions, Airplay doens't show in the menu bar, so went through "system preferences" connected to the Displaylink.
-Shows three monitors available for a few seconds, I can then only access the main one
then disconnects itself and I go back to clone.

Any suggestions?

i get clone mode, but my Clamshell'ed macbook with a displayport monitor and displaylink monitor only shows my appleTV as an airplay device. I dont get any security request or accessibility option in S&P either.
thoughts?

Hey! apparently Unplugging the displaylink was all it needed. as soon as I did, it popped up the displaylink agent, and then a few click, and boom, extended screen :D
Im back baby! only 3 months later!

OK! That solved my problem as well to get it to finally pop-up as a choice. Unplug and re-plug the display link adaptor.

Just reporting that 10.13.5 Beta 4 does not restore original functionality. Workaround is effective though.

It won't. Apple purposely closed off the way DL was working as it was considered a security risk that could also be exploited in a negative way so they are not going to roll back the change.

It does say that in the enablement instructions

Go to the Security & Privacy settings -> Privacy and then unplug your DisplayLink enabled device.

That's interesting. Can you please elaborate further or provide a source?
