I am pretty sure this was AppContext related, since we could not return a MediaTracker stored in one AppContext to another AppContext and now we are doing exactly that, but ok not a big issue.

The only difference between the two is that the old MediaTracker component was created using createComponent, which resets the AppContext, should we drop that AppContext usage there as well?
