Thanks to dimitrists. His post solved the problem for me.
Using twonkymedia server I streamed (most of ) external subtitles to lg 49ub850v - connected over LAN, software ver. 4.55.40 (I say 'most', because 1 mp4 movie with .srt worked ok, the other didn't streamed the .srt. file; using an usb hdd, second mp4 loaded correctly the .srt ). I used tonkymedia server v.7.1.2 (free edition) on an oracle vm virtual box (host : windows 10, guest: win xp sp3,on an old laptop with intel p6000 processor,intel hd graphics, 6gb ddr3 ram, 320 hdd 5400rpm, wireless). This version of twonky supports network drives and it also could stream the popcorn folder real time ( popcorn player on pause, the movie can be played on tv with external subtitle .srt file;the .srt file has the same name as the movie file).
I choose to test the software in a virtual box, because , a few month ago, on a win 7 machine, I also install all media servers (plex,nero,servio) and nothing worked for external subtitles (so I decided, this time, not to overload the windows with useless software).
