The chosen file cannot be parsed #22

Tried this today on a fresh Google takeout for Google-Chat. The messages.json file could not be parsed: Error "The chosen file cannot be parsed. Are you sure it was the Hangouts.json file you chose?". It's possible that google changed something in the format recently (?)

This project was last updated two years ago. I looked at the file format, started to see what it would take to update the code, and it appears to be completely different from Hangouts. It looks like all of the parsing code would have to be rewritten.
