Streaming with Subtitle

MKV files are container media files that can have audio, video, subtitles, chapters (for the audio or video), and attachments, or any combo of previous listed.
Movies that are in MKV format usually have subtitles embedded in them (video + subtitle combo + whatever else)
*SLOWER SOLUTION BUT BETTER: If your MKV file didnt come with the subtitle file embedded and you have a correct subtitle file (thats aligned), try the MKVtoolnix program as mentioned by StephenB.
*FASTER SOLUTION: If you dont want to embed the subtitles, or you dont want to use MKV (video format), or your video didnt come in MKV format (and you want to leave it as MKV): Simple make sure that your filename (up to the extension) is the same on your video file & subtitle file. This last point applies to all video formats not just MKVs. Players like VLC will look for subtitle files with same name.
Im sure other player/streamers do the same thing
