I just installed the latest release (as of 9/11/17) of Power BI Report Server yesterday on my SQL Server 2016 Enterprise test server (I cannot find any place in the software/install that gives the exact version #, and I cannot connect to the PBIRS instance through SSMS to get a version #, but I believe it is the August 2017 Preview). 

 

PNG images are not rendering.  JPG images work fine.  Those are the only 2 formats I am using.

 

The images are stored in a folder under Report Manager, and have always worked fine with SSRS (2008 - 2016).  They are rendered at runtime using a URL in the report (ex.  =Globals!ReportServerUrl & "?/Images/CREC_Expert_Logo.png").

 

The issue happens in IE 11, Chrome with IE Tab add-in, and Chrome straight up.

    johncpratt you can always check the version in the question mark icon , about.

    Regarding the images you seem to be talking about paginated reports not Power BI which was the initial topic of the thread.

    We will investigate it, do you have a simple repro at hand that we can use?

      Thanks for the clarification, jtarquino.  I read the "on-premises Reporting Services" part and thought the issue was about the Report Server side.  I can post separately regarding paginated reports.  I do not have a generic repro, but will work on one if that will help.

        The issue I am having is inside PBIX reports!

         

        I have a very simple PBIX file which just has a data connection in it (no grids or visualisations and several different image files (JPG, PNG, TIF, BMP, GIF) none of which seem to display

         

        Interestingly if I set the background colour of the images these show up as coloured squares. Its just not pulling the actual image in

         

        I can happily send the file.
