You could try to play with xpath axes right here: http://pimpmyxslt.com/
Take a look at the one called parent::

Try something like this ./parent::folder

As far as I know the parent element to a media has to be a folder, right ?

Parent can be any type.. depends on how you setup media structure.  In most cases it's Folder.

I'll try the parent:: element

Didn't work.. any other suggestions?

@parentID seems to work fine for me.  It is case sensitive though, were you using @parentID or @parentId?

Hi Daniel

You should be able to use @parentID. Let's say that you have a media picker with an alias of "myPicker". With this picker you'll select a media node that have a parent. Let's put that node in a variable like this:

<xsl:variable name="selectedMedia" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($currentPage/myPicker, 0)"/>

Now you should be able to get the selected node's parent using the GetMedia extension and $selectedMedia/@parentID. E.g. you could write out the parent node in a textarea to see the XML of that node like this:

<textarea>      
     <xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($selectedMedia/@parentID, 1)"/>
</textarea>
