Despite following this discussion, I still fail to see what the
difficulty/confusion is.  

It seems pretty straightforward to have MPlayer installed and run on the
thin-client, outputting to the local display.  

Transferring the raw camera data over the network to the server, then
uncompressed video over NX, then BACK to the client again, would be
incredibly bandwidth intensive, and doesn't appear to give you anything.
