Try calling the following before src->updatePipeline() before
attempting to create the representation. The reader hasn't been
executed yet and hence it doesn't provide any information about what
type of data it will produce and hence createDataRepresentation()
cannot create any data-representation for it. updatePipeline() forces
the reader to execute i.e. it's RequestData() will get called and then
the rest should work as expected.
