Can I use an AppleTV remote to control Airplay from a Mac Mini in another room?

I have a Mac Mini in my office that is ethernet connected. My AppleTv is in another room. Can I control video playback from my Mac via Airplay with the AppleTV remote?

You can use the remote to control playback of content within your iTunes library.

Thanks, and I understand this. However I am streaming video off the internet, not associated with iTunes that I want to be able to control with the remote. Can I do this?
