"FAILED to create local codec" when h264 encoder is running

platform: DM368

I can run DMAI demo application image_encode_io1_dm368.x470MV successfully when the h264 encoder is not running.
However, if I started the encode application from dvsdk_demos, and run the jpeg encoder application again, it would throw such error:

Failed to create image encoder: jpegenc

I have 116MB memory reserved for CMEM use, it's probably not because of shortage of memory.

I tried solution in this post
http://e2e.ti.com/support/dsp/davinci_digital_media_processors/f/100/t/86319.aspx#298344

but it's not making any difference. I modified "image_encode_io1_dm368.cfg" to add EDMA3.maxrequests=128.

Thanks for your help.

    Found the problem:

    in my encode.cfg, I had

    var myEngine = Engine.create("encode", [
        {name: "h264enc", mod: H264ENC, local: true, groupId: 1},
        {name: "jpegenc", mod: JPEGENC, local: true, groupId: 2},
        {name: "jpegdec", mod: JPEGDEC, local: true, groupId: 2},
    ]);

    in image_encode_io1_dm368.cfg, I had

    var myEngine = Engine.create("encode", [
        {name: "jpegenc", mod: JPEGENC, local: true, groupId: 0},
    ]);

    I removed jpegenc/jpegdec from encode.cfg and changed groupID to 1 in image_encode_io1_dm368.cfg, now it's working!
