I am getting this error when starting up Homebridge ...

This probably ties in with #14 I guess you also get two messages that your Apple TV has been detected?

The first Problem is that the Plugin searches for Apple TV‘s for a Period of time...in this Time...an Apple TV can respond so fast that it cant answer the Request two Times....the Secound Problem is that the Plugin does not recognize that the same Device is Discovered twice...so the Plugin is trying to create an Accessory for this Apple TV twice...with obviously the same UUID
