Displaylink ceases to work in 10.13.4

[slvrscoobie]

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
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.

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

Not really, NDA. Thats about all I can say.

One downside of an Airplay solution is the likes of Netflix won't play on any monitor due to HDCP protection using Safari, so you make have to switch to Chrome.

Its really unfortunate I have a $200 USB hub and ethernet jack. If Apple did find a loop hole in the way DL works, there are ways to patch it. The easy way is to just terminate the support,

with great hope, I downloaded 4.3 beta 3 on my 2011 MacBook pro yesterday.

Tried to follow the instruction, but no popup window to ask for airPlay security. I managed to manually add the DisplayLinkUserAgent to the Accessibility, still, no airPlay icon, my hp 22cwa is not detected, invisible in System Preferences > Displays...

With 4.1, at least I can do mirroring... there seem to be other 2011 MacBook pro complaints regarding 4.3 beta, wondering if this version has some incompatibility issues?

DisplayLink dev, is there anything I can provide to help you debug this scenario? Or anybody has any suggestion on how to fix/workaround this?

[update] Problem Resolved!

Turns out my non-detection problem is related to a faulty USB hub plug. All is well now. Good job DisplayLink!

It does say that in the enablement instructions

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