1) Your server might serve the subtitles in a way only Samsung systems understand
2) XBMC does not support external subtitles through UPnP
Serving external subtitles is not part of the UPnP specs, and different vendors have therefore started using different methods. There are basically 2(/3) ways that are being used at the moment. If you can, give Serviio a quick try (it's a painless server for a quick test). At least that server uses both methods so you can determine if it's a server issue.
I do not know XBMC well enough to know if it supports external subtitles through UPnP in the first place, but I assume it is. Not using it myself though.
DLNA does not support subtitles but my Panasonic TV can handle them when using DLNA and KODI.
Is that possible because the PANASONIC has a "DLNA extension" (as the SAMSUNG tv have) and Kodi exploits that?
I'm confused! If i change brands will i have external subs with other TV brands?
How about internal subtitles (inside the video container)?
If someone posts about a specific tv working with a specific version of kodi you can (probably) rely on that.
My advice would be to use a local device running kodi plugged into your tv's HDMI. That way the tv doesn't matter.
