Hey all, I'm having problems sending events to spawned machine when using React Context. Player is stuck in "loading" state all the time and I'm unable to send any events to it. Please see here https://codesandbox.io/s/zen-fast-8sq7yn?file=/src/App.tsx

This is strange but a workaround is to do this:

  const { playlistService } = usePlaylistContext();
  const ref = useSelector(playlistService, (state) => state.context.ref);
  const [state, send] = useActor(ref!);

  useEffect(() => {
    send("LOADED");
  }, [send]);
