MKV and embedded subtitles and posters

I've read a bit about how MKV files that have embedded subtitles won't display them as they have to be outside of the file and in srt format. Is it a limitation of DLNA that it cannot stream sub with idx files but only srt? RipBot264 allows me to embed the blu-ray subtitles into the MKV using sub with idx.

Another thing that would be nice to see is if serviio would pull the poster/image file out of the MKV without having to download it. I have gone through great lengths add the proper images and subtitles to all my MKV files.

I would love an explanation on this. Anyone?

Depends on renderer and whether the file is transcoded. Some devices will display embedded subtitles.

That would be a feature request.
