Is there are way to do this. I couldn't find to much in the apple documentation. Sorry if I'm totally missing this. I know my way around code. I'm 16 and kind of new to some of this. I have some apps on the app store so I know what I'm doing but still a little fresh with all of this. Thanks. I know there is this AirPlay Mirroring iPhone to Mac OS / using UIWebView + AirPlay and it's probably easier to just buy it but is there a way to do it. I have a 4s so i know it can handle mirroring.

As explained here basically the stream is encrypted using FairPlay™, the same technology that encrypts apps and movies purchased through iTunes.

In order to do what you want you would need to reverse-engineer FairPlay. That's the only way I can think of that the existing apps you mentioned are doing it, but I'm not sure... It would be interesting if someone could elaborate further. Regardless the point is, it's not trivial.

Here is the protocol: http://nto.github.com/AirPlay.html
