Subtitles work with Chromecast and Apple TV 4:

Subtitles in the same folder are added automatically.
You can set a subtitle folder that will be searched.
The background and subtitle sync font color can be changed.

Some DLNA servers add subtitle information, others do not.
// Wireless headphones (beta)
Touch the headphone symbol on the “Now Playing” screen to stream the sound to your phone.
