The first file is SRT subs. It might take a few seconds (my rig is fast and it can take 15 seconds to extract on the fly) for subs to start, but those should work 100% of the time.
The second file is PGS subs, which will generally require transcoding to burn them into the video file (if the subtitle stream you highlighted is what you're using). That's not always the case, but is true for most common clients (Kodi handles them different, VLC may handle them different, Shield can supposedly display them without burn in).
These are both common types of subtitles and should be detected by Jellyfin as well as pretty much any client. Could you share what Jellyfin server version you're running, a little bit of info about the hardware, and what client you're using to watch the media?
