Pulling from a windows server, I can play on a Nexus 5 with subtitles (SRT), via selecting "Audio and Subtitle Settings" from the movie details page on the Android app. But if I chose to use MB connect to chromecast, chromecast doesn't show the subtitles. If I cast the Android screen, with subtitles, via the chromecast (not MB) app, I get the subtitles (to be expected, since I am casting a screen with subtitles).
I understand that the chromecast MB client can only do WebVTT subs, according to:

So I converted the subtitles to WebVTT, and placed it in the same folder as the movie file, with the same file name (different extension of course). My problems:
A) Only the SRT sub shows up as an option in MB. I already hit "rescan library" on the server.
Bottom line: I cannot watch with WebVTT subs on the chromecast.
All versions of MB are up to date.
Thank you
