So I made Enable subtitles set to default for all media. For some movies it works and for some doesn't. Also I noticed that this setting for some reason doesn't work for the same movie (Blu-Ray) which I played from the library and from the movie folder (m2ts-file)

Same issue for me on V17.x.
All files have muxed subs, and enable subtitles option is always off regardless if u set it to default for all media.

A debug log while playing with subtitle would be helpful. In your first message, you didn't make clear if the subtitle didn't show with the disk or with the .TS format? If it's the disk could you list the contents of that folder? If it's the .TS file then mediainfo might tell the tale, MKVmerkge is quite useful for checking out embedded subtitles.

You would have to investigate the .ts files, it's not likely that in the group, a subtitle would be consistent amongst the breadth of this, and you would need to either produce an MKV file with an independent subtitle or embed what you have. If you're having issues with MKV with embed subtitles, then you will need to explore the encode and the default subtitle or utilize externals subs. I can't seem to replicate these issues and considering you've tried various iterations of Kodi, I can only suspect the root cause is with your media.
Debug log?

What have you set as your preferred subtitle language (settings->player->language: subtitles)? If it's set to "original stream's language" only subtitle streams that are flagged as default are shown. Since MVC 3D ISO Sample #2 with 3D Subtitles (1080p/23.976) does not have a default subtitle stream, subs are turned off. If you set it to English your example from above should work.

This is still an issue for me, some releases will tag their subtitle tracks as being either in the written language of the subtitle (English) or the language it's subtitling (Japanese) so simply setting English doesn't work 100% of the time.
Kodi should just be able to respect the [default] flag on muxed subtitles, and it doesn't. 17.6 Jarvis.

Tagging a English subtitle track as Japanese because that’s the language it translates is plain wrong and extremely stupid, but if this is anime then that doesn’t suprise me as anime release groups are well known for doing stupid things.
