MiniDLNA embeds the subtitles as stream and thus makes em selectable, Showtime understands this, unlike the XMB, also if you hook the opensubtitles plugin you basicly never have to look for subs again.
So far I have not encountered any file that would not play (except h264 level 5+, but those are rare, and can be easily recoded/transcoded)
