First, USB and DLNA playback is not always equal. What works with one may not with the other, but there's nothing "wrong". It's just the way the manufacturer has decided to implement one or the other.
For the media info, what is desired is the container (MP4, MKV, M2TS, etc.), video codec (MPEG2, AVC, H264, etc.) and audio codec (AC3, DTS, AAC, etc.). There are additional details that may help as well, so I suggest using a program like MediaInfo, as well as FFMPEG output (command line use).
Subtitles must be in a container that supports their function. For our Samsung sets, that seems to be MKV and TS. I've never been able to get them to work with MP4 or others, but I haven't put much effort into it. Also, if the file is being transcoded by Serviio (older Samsung profiles will do this with almost everything) then the captions are stripped out during the transcoding process.
