Have you tried ssh into your linux box, then run:
export DISPLAY=:0
Then run the command to launch your video player:
vlc video.m4v
EDIT: Note you will need to ssh into the linux box as the same user that is logged into the desktop session.
EDIT2: Unless you want to run the application on the device from which you are connecting via ssh, then that is different. For that look into ssh X11 forwarding: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12755/how-to-forward-x-over-ssh-to-run-graphics-applications-remotely
