Hi, When using the Remote App, double-tap on an item you wish to play. Once it starts to play, the "Now Playing" window should present itself on the iDevice and there will be Previous, Play/Pause, Next and Volume buttons you can manipulate. The layout is not exactly the same as what the ATV presents when using the physical remote but you will have access to most media. You will not have access to the Settings and other things such as NetFlicks with the Remote App. You will, though, be able to control Play/Pause and such if you're playing media that you originally started playing with the physical remote via the ATV interface.
Hope this makes sense. Later...
