Needs movie.mkv and movie.srt in same folder, the TV will do a GET for the srt file when you select the movie file.

Even if there is embedded subtitle inside the MKV, it will not be detected by DLNA streaming, it's ignored for me.
Use MKV toolnix commandline to extract subs, or download them from somewhere.. :)
Extracting the subtitles from mkvs is NOT solution. MKV movies contain subtitles in 1 file, beside audio and video streams. The TV's mediaplayer DO SHOULD play the mkv movies with embended subtitles!
But it doesn't support 2 or more subtitles in separated files in the folder of the mkv file, with naming convention movie.mkv, movie.en.srt, movie.de.srt, movie.fr.srt neither!
And mediaplayer doesn't support chapters in mkv files!
So, we can say the mediaplayer in samsung smart(?) TVs is a bullshit! :twisted:

Try renaming the filename and the subtitles file with exactly the same name with the extentions different. Avoid ANY hypens, and brackets. Extract the srt files with MKVtoolnix.
Example:
from My.Movie.2011-NOGRP.mkv
rename to:
My Movie 2011.mkv
My Movie 2011.srt
