I find this behaviour rather inconsistent atm and I think it could be handled more nicely

situation is zoneswitch rules are active which will route all video to a single zone so any time I press play via any means (mcws, ui etc) then it plays in that zone as expected.

however there are edge cases where I want to play a video in some other zone, the only known way to do this is to go to the library item then use Send To > Play (Other Zone) > Play. Playback will now start in that zone.

Having done this, 2 things will happen

1) the overview page will show the library item in the play queue for that zone
2) the right click menu will remember the choice of "Play (Other Zone)"

if I use either of these options to start playback, zoneswitch kicks in and it goes back to the original zone

to my mind, this is a bug, these options should behave consistently and take the explicit user choice as "pls override zoneswitch on this one occasion"
