We have identified an issue where the latest version of Google Chrome is preventing SAM Reporter from generating reports as it no loger can access port 80 on the local machine.
Our team is actively working on a fix which will be delayed in future releases of SAM Broadcaster Pro.
In the meantime, users are encouraged to use the following workaround:
To allow Chrome to access port 80, you can modify the Chrome shortcut properties as follows:
- Right-click the Chrome shortcut and select Properties.
- In the Properties window, go to the Shortcut tab.
- Append the following flag to the end of the Target field: --explicitly-allowed-ports=80"
