Well done! Has restored my 3rd display on Mac Mini (Late 2014)

With the installation of the newest driver, my second monitor came back to live. Thanks!

My specs:

Macbook pro 13 inch mid 2012
macOS 10.13.4 (17E202)
Kernel version Darwin 17.5.0
USB32hdpro Startech

Dear DisplayLink Team,

can you please give us a vague prognosis,

whether a "dual extended display" mode will eventually work again, preferably at higher a resolution than 1080p (e.g. 1440p) with a future macOS release i.e. 10.13.5 or later. Is there hope?
Would you recommend to skip the current 10.13.4 entirely, because of the current limitations or lack of a decent API from Apple?
Is the current AirPlay API just an emergency workaround or permanent?
Will there be a new non-AirPlay API, or will you have to stick with AirPlay for a while? AirPlay is indeed limited to 1080p only, and AFAIK has no multiple display support.

Thanks!

With all working do you mean as it was with 10.13.3 or with the temp fix with airplay monitor?

Yes airplay use as separate display monitor running at 1680x1050 plus using Thunderbolt display in addition to give 2 full size displays. This meets my needs.

I now have an extended monitor working, using AirPlay. Thank you. But there seems to be another gift from High Sierra: Blackened images on Safari on the Display Link monitor.

Chrome works perfectly. When I drag the Safari blackened image to another monitor, the image appears. This problem is probably more High Sierra than any hardware issue.

Someone suggested changing the Display profile in System Prefs from HD 709-A to sRGB IEC61966-2.1.

That's when I discovered that the DisplayLink monitor was locked on HD 709-A.

This is a relatively small price to pay to have my extended monitor back, but does anybody have any thoughts about my problem, or have it themselves?
