Trying to run VLC from ssh and show on HDMI screen

[/RaspberryPi]

This is driving me crazy. I used to run omxplayer for this and it worked flawlessly, but I've seen it has been discontinued in favor of VLC, so I want to migrate to VLC, but I can't even get the basics to work.
So far I've found out that first I need to set a global variable DISPLAY, so I have export DISPLAY=:0 in my rc.local file, and then I try to run from SSH with cvlc /media/myvideo.mp4 but I get a bunch of error messages.
