Setting DISPLAY=:0.0 will certainly make MPlayer output to the local
machine's X11 display, assuming you're logged-in over SSH as the same
user that is running X11 locally.  

However, if you are using some less common shell type, like csh/tcsh,
"export" won't work, there you need to use setenv instead.

Alternatively, just put the variable before the command-line, eg.:

# DISPLAY=:0.0 mplayer -vo xv VIDEO.avi
