✨ NAME ✨

KateDJ 💖 edits and remixes Kate streams in Ogg 🎀

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

KateDJ [-hV]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so KateDJ lets you pull out the Kate tracks hiding inside an Ogg stream, edit them, and then rebuild the Ogg stream with your changes baked in 🔥 It's giving remix era.

KateDJ is a simple GUI program, so you drive it with clicks, not command line flags 🖱️✨ No typing KateDJ in your terminal and praying lol.

Here's the usual flow, bestie 🫶

  1. Hit 'Load Ogg stream' and pick the Ogg file you want to remix 🎧
  2. Hit 'Demux file' to pull the Kate streams out into a temporary directory 📂 Heads up, if the Ogg file is huge this can take a hot minute 😭 Once it's done, a message tells you where the temp files landed 🦋 Every Kate stream gets decoded into a text description and saved in that folder, and you'll also get a list showing each stream's serial number, language, and category 💜
  3. Now edit the files however you like 💅 You can open them in the embedded editor by double clicking a stream in the list, or use your favorite text editor 🌈 You can change anything, delete some of them, or even add brand new ones. Just make sure any new files follow the same naming convention as the existing ones, or KateDJ won't recognize them 🙈
  4. When you're happy, hit 'Remux file from parts' to try rebuilding the Ogg stream ✨ If something goes wrong (like a syntax error in one of the Kate files), a message will tell you what happened 💀 Fix the problem, then hit 'Remux file from parts' again, and keep going until it finally works 👑
⚠️ Bestie, the naming rule is a big deal! New files only get recognized if they're named using the same convention as the existing ones. Otherwise KateDJ just won't see them 😭

The embedded editor is perfect for quick tweaks because it can test your modified stream right there 🍓 For bigger, more complicated edits, your editor of choice is probably going to be more powerful 🌸
