I need to use the ipfs hash to find out whether the file is an image or a video so that i can use it to either show the image/play the video. Couldn't find any useful resource on this one. What should be done?

You can't find it just by using the ipfs hash. You're gonna have to fetch the file and find the mime type of it. Check out these threads 1 2
