I installed Media Module 3.3.0 (DNN 5.4.2, Windows7, Localhost).  Just trying to display aspnet.gif for now.  If I select link type = URL and enter the full URL http://localhost/demokeningram/portals/0/aspnet.gif then it works but if I select aspnet.gif from the dropdown with Link Type = File then I get the "broken image" box and the URL (from properties in the box) is http://localhost/demokeningram/LinkClick.aspx?link=aspnet.gif&tabid=70&mid=419

Am I missing something?  This should be easy.

Thanks,

Ken

I've just come across the same thing on two different sites that have been updated to 6.0.1. I've tried Media modules 3.2.3, 3.3.0 and 4.0.0 and all of them fail to display a gif file. And like the OP, if I right-click the broken image icon and choose Properties, instead of a URL to the image, I get http://mydomain.com/LinkClick.aspx?li..., yet I did NOT check tracking of new window in settings.

The Image module displays the same image without issue. Therefore, no permission issues... and I've double-checked them just in case.

On the same site, I have the Media module displaying a YouTube video using oEmbed. So the module works for videos, but not images.

There's a Page Load Exception in the Event Viewer:
