Encode and decode both working on DM8168

Can you please check the are control parameters ? I suspect that encoder might be dropping the frames due to wrong rate control parameters.

I using IL_ClientSetEncodeParams() provided by capture_encode.

Telnet to evmboard and trace m3 while running my program:

Can you please try   tEncoderPreset.eRateControlPreset other than OMX_Video_RC_Low_Delay ?

I tried these configs:

 OMX_Video_RC_Storage,
 OMX_Video_RC_Twopass,
 OMX_Video_RC_None,
 OMX_Video_RC_User_Defined,

but still the same.
