I suppose that the embedded subs are ASS? If yes then the answer is that it's the feature of the Samsung TV, it ignores ASS styling and only displays the plain text.

Transcoding would be the "fix", but unfortunately UMS cannot transcode to newer Samsung TV's (since 2015).
Only workarounds is to maybe find a suitable SRT on the internet.

Or you can try to extract the embedded subtitle to a SRT file which samsung will read.
A quick google search found this tool: https://www.faasoft.com/articles/extrac ... m-mkv.html

For videotools in general i can recommend: https://www.videohelp.com/software (tested and reviewed by users)
