  • I'm not into Parse... How do you receive the image and video data? NSData? Maybe this could help http://stackoverflow.com/a/31243940/2798777 – matthias Jul 23 '15 at 09:07
  • When user sends something, you can tag the data to describe what it is, when receiving data you can then know what kind of data it is. Or it is another problem? Question not really clear. – Jean-Baptiste Yunès Nov 20 '15 at 20:45

Surely the easiest way will be of course to look at the file extension...?

For future googlers ... on didTapMessageBubbleAtIndexPath delegate you should check for item class

let message = yourMessageArray[indexPath.item]

if message.isMediaMessage() {
    if message.media().isKindOfClass(JSQPhotoMediaItem) {
         //Handle image
    } else if message.media().isKindOfClass(JSQVideoMediaItem) {
         let video = message.media() as! JSQVideoMediaItem
         let videoURL = video.fileURL
    }
}

  • If your message is kind of class JSQVideoMediaItem you can get url as above and play it – Steve May 13 '16 at 21:21

Save this information in another field on Parse during the asset upload.
