&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{Module|name=kate|type=Access demux|first_version=0.9.0|description=[[Kate]] overlay decoder}}&lt;br /&gt;

The help text for this module:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kate is a codec for text and image based overlays.&lt;br /&gt;
The Tiger rendering library is needed to render complex Kate streams, but VLC can still render static text and image based subtitles if it is not available.&lt;br /&gt;
Note that changing settings below will not take effect until a new stream is played. This will hopefully be fixed soon.&lt;br /&gt;
