Hi DisplayLink Community/Team,

I am posting in this topic because I feel my issue is similar to the one described here, but I think I have another helpful puzzle piece.

When my MacBook Air (10.10.2) is hooked up to my Etekcity USB 3.0 hub, OS X displays a gray screen when playing any protected content via Apple provided apps i.e. iTunes Movie/TV show purchases, and DVD’s played through DVD player get the gray screen treatment.

However, any video files not from iTunes (i.e DVD Rips) play in iTunes just fine. Also, an alternative DVD playing program (in my case, VLC) plays DVDs without issue.

The content protection issue extends to online services. Netflix fails to play; though Netflix does tie it to an HDCP issue.

Thus, the issue centers on how the DisplayLink Driver and OS X/QuickTime handle protected content and not iTunes specifically.
