What I would like is the following:
ssh ip.of.mythbackend mythfrontend ;select video I'm interested in
local mplayer 'the-selected-file'
after exit
ssh ip.of.mythbackend mythfrontend ;again
quit mythfrontend
back in my host system.

The only thing needed on the frontend is ssh mplayer/xine and X

This way every X capable system (OSX, M$ with Xming and linux of course, 
and maybe PopCornHour et all with added X) would be able to use this.
