Hey Guys…
my Problem is:
i have the trailers, interwies, extras, etc… in the “recommended” folders.
In the same folders I have the “srt” files.
In the VLC Player these are recognized immediately. About Plex not…
Ideas to solve this?

I don’t use subtitles much, but if I read the Help page correctly, local subtitle files need to be in the same folder as the movie, not in a subfolder.
I don’t believe subtitles in subfolders is supported. They have to be in the same directory as the media.
External subtitles are not supported for local movie Extras.
You need to mux these in.
That is a pity, but ok. Maybe this will be integrated in the future.
I actually don’t want to mux the subtitles into the video - that makes you so inflexible
But many thanks to all

In what way?
I mean muxing in, not burning in.
Muxed-in subtiltes can still be enabled or disabled at will.
Aaaahh!!!.. I am stupid - you don’t mean embedded.
That’s a good idea, I’ll try that 
Nope, to my experience “embedded” means also “muxed.in”.
The subtitles are within the same file as the video and the audio, but are still in a separate data stream.
That’s why the player can still enable or disable them.
“Burning” the subtitles into the video picture makes them permanently visible. (And also requires a lengthy and quality-diminishing conversion of the whole video stream)
Understandably, you want to avoid this option.
Get yourself MKVtoolnixGUI
Yeah, I know what you mean. I have been converting films for several years.
I started with divx and *.avi videos about 15-20 years ago 
I switched to *.mkv (and full HD with Acc sound and several subtitles) 3 months ago and still have a lot to learn about this video format.
But thanks for your thought-provoking ideas. I think sometimes i need that XD
To mux them with “MKVtoolnix” works perfect…
Many, many, many, many thanks Otto
The matter is fixed and solved. WW is sometimes a stupid guy^^
Can I close my post somewhere?
Done.
