如何在MediaCodec Android中实现跳帧

Question

I'm making an app which is using MediaCodec APIs. The app runs on two phones. The first phone reads the video from the sdcard and then uses the MediaCodec encoder to encode the frames in avc format and then streams the frames to another device. The second device has a MediaCodec decoder running. The decoder decodes the frames and render them on a Surface. The code is running fine but after sometime when the size of the frames gets more, the first device is sometime not able to stream the video and the encoder stops reporting the following log :

E/OMX-VENC-720p(  212): Poll timedout, pipeline stalled due to client/firmware ETB: 496, EBD: 491, FTB: 492, FBD: 492

So I want to implement frame skipping on the encoder side. What's the best way to skip the frames and not stream them to the other device. ?

PS. On a separate note if anyone can suggest me of any other way of streaming a video to other device it'll be really nice.
