Dynamic Image in SSRS report Image control not working

I have an Asp.net MVC 5 website that hosts a RDLC file. I want to call a controller action to render an image in the report. The Image control has "External" image source set. I have tried passing the URL as a parameter to the report and setting the image expression to that parameter. The image is blank. The HTML in the browser states "src=unknown". I have also tried hardcoding the expression. No image displays. When I put the URL in the browser, the image displays. The hardcoded URL is ="http://localhost:55426/image/showbarcode?id=69899694-6ce4-e811-80cc-78e3b50d083e". The website is not hosted in IIS. No errors are reported



This is the only report that is using external images. I did have to change the SSRS target server version to "SQL Server 2008 R2, 2012 or 2014". All the other reports render fine.
