NFS is your answer. With NFS you mount up a remote folder as if it were a local one. Then your script just has to give the find command a couple of folders to find your video files, rather than just the one, e.g.
By the way you don't need a cd before your find command because you're providing a full pathname to find. Context is only important if you're using a relative pathname.
I actually decided to go with NFS somewhere in the mix. After looking up what all goes into launching VLC in streaming mode, trying to do it remotely (after somehow determining whether I need to launch VLC remotely or locally) and then launching it locally to pick up a network stream and then blah blah blah.. Yes, NFS seemed the way to go for exactly the reason you describe. The remote videos folder is just another folder on my desktop, and gets indexed just the same.
I'm surprised you caught the 'cd' thing in the script. I'm even more surprised it never registered with me. It's a remnant from when I first started writing it and I was using 'locate' instead of 'find'.
I'm actually off now to post a thread somewhere about fine-tuning NFS transfer speeds. I'm having a bottleneck somewhere with NFS and SSH transfers, and playing these videos over an NFS tunnel can be a less than enjoyable experience.
