Hello!
I had the same issue today. I have a raspberry pi 4 as server and an old Android TV with latest Jellyfin player 0.18.10. If I had the transcoding enabled the pi could not handle it. If I had it disabled, there were no subtitles. I enabled in the app to use "external player" and now I got a bad builtin TV player but at least has the subtitles.
I checked and the VOBSUB support was done in 1.6.0, and it is included in latest Android TV version for Jellyfin, so looks there might be a bug or something I am doing wrong. This is how a track looks with mkvinfo:
