I'm not sure if I understand what you want to do, but maybe try the following:

env SESSION_MANAGER= xinit gmplayer -geometry 800x600 -- :1 -screen screen_tv

(Anyways I wonder why xinit would try to start another instance of the session 
manager?)

Maybe better use the following one:

env DISPLAY=:1 gmplayer -geometry 800x600
