   Problematic. Such thing doesn’t exist in upnp/dlna. There are two concurrent non-standard extensions, one defined by samsung and the other by twonky. I’ve seen support for that in some hardware players.

   Is your TV able to render SRTs? Otherwise you can try this solution: https://gist.github.com/1556720

      I don’t want to use TV to play those videos. I want to play content available on one laptop on the other one.

   Hi,

   Which Media Server are you using ? I think that with PS3 Media Player you can encode subtitles in video stream.

   havent tried it, but would guess that vlc is able to do that (http://superuser.com/questions/191736/how-do-i-connect-vlc-to-a-known-dlna-server)

      VLC almost can do it… almost, some guy is working on that but it is still experimental and mostly doesn’t work.

   If you can, you should try PS3 Media Server, a DLNA server which reencodes the video stream on the fly and includes the subtitles in it.

   Hi, I used “minidlna” with my samsung TV, and the external subtitle file work just fine without any special configuration.

   Since I’ve the same problem with XBMC DLNA, I now mux the subtitles with the video into a mkv file.

   Have you tried Coherence with? I guess the GStreamer backend should be able to do what you want.
