Any needed profile that is for a device that Zip doesn't have himself needs support from the community. I'm currently using the default H profile, but do have issues with a few of my files. If someone can do the initial part (the first part of the profile with the media support lines), I can work on the transcoding lines.

Overall, the J series seems to play most files without issues. Right now I think WTV is the primary file type causing me problems, which is strange because there's a transcode line for them there. I had it working earlier, but I forgot to save a copy of the profile before I did a clean Windows 10 install. Just haven't had time to work on it recently, as I received a temporary promotion at work and I'm swamped.

I know very little of serviio, but with universalmediaserver i got subs working by letting UMS mux the file into MKV with subs.

Don't know if this info can somehow be useful for devs of serviio

Serviio can burn in subs as well. It just depends on the type of captions contained within the file. If the file is a Blu-Ray rip, then there is no way Serviio can extract the sub text, as it isn't text at all, but an image. For DVD rips, the Samsung will display embedded text from an MKV container (possibly more, I'm not sure). Serviio can also feel subs from an SRT file.

Not sure what you mean. My JU7100 will display captions from a MKV file as long as it's a DVD rip. Just won't do them from a Blu-Ray rip, but then no other TV will either. My Blu-Ray player will display them if they're in an M2TS container, but not from a MKV.

As far is understood it, Some samsung models support both external ( using subtitleHttpHeader CaptionInfo.sec ) and internal subtitles i.e mkv container.

Edit: So if you have a mp4 with external subs (srt), those can be muxed into a MKV container and it will work that way (with "internal" subs)

Last and 3rd option i guess is transcoding with "burned-in" subs
