I hope I'm wrong, but it would appear that Apple broke it again with Public Beta 6.

I'm hoping DisplayLink can comment and either confirm, or deny that assumption soon so we can stop beating our heads against the wall trying to get it to work again or that Public Beta 7 comes out and fixes it again (one can hope).


I guess the big lesson here is to always come check the DisplayLink forums before installing ANY update. Unfortunately, I got my new 2018 MacBook Pro the SAME day that Public Beta 6 was released, so I wasn't even aware I was installing a newer Beta at the time, and didn't consider that the next Beta might break it again.

Hello Sofla,

There is something on the 2018 model. As far as I know, it is NOT a regression (meaning it never worked, it did NOT "stop working again") We have received logs and have done preliminary analysis and logged a bug report. That's what my last comment on the idea thread was asking for.
In the meantime, you can force AirPlay with our beta 6 as I left it online.

Both sides are still in beta.

Kind regards,
Alban
