The last days I spent tweaking the stream output quality of #Owncast on my #RaspberryPi 5 server.
It's not an encoding beast but can provide at least two different quality levels.
Bottleneck is the frame rate that needs to be lowered to 30 fps for that.
Alternatively you can go for video passthrough, also with an additional quality level encoded by the Pi, but such a mix leads to playback issues in my case.
Encoding higher bitrate than 4000 is also possible if natively provided by OBS.
