How to set some vids free and some sub on Roku Billing?

I registered for Roku Billing and set up a monthly subscription product.
I want to offer some videos free and some using the Roku subscription.

Is the subscription flexible like that or does it just gate 100% of videos behind the subscription?

If it is flexible, how do I specify which videos are subscriber based and which are free?

    That really depends on you develop your channel. For instance, I have a channel that offers free and sub content. The app checks with Roku for a valid subscription before loading the assets, and depending on the result, offers either free or paid content to the viewer. It's not really Roku who decides what content is available, that is for your app or back-end to manage.
