Apple TV Beta Component Device Found but not working

Describe the bug

When adding in a tvOS 15 Apple TV it will go through the process, fail after attempting to connect via MRP, then connect on the second pass. However the device shows up in an unknown or off state.

@geekofweek You mentioned MRP… We have seen cases where upgraded tvOS 15 devices for some reason announce a non-working MRP service. I can see this become a problem as the unique id saved and used to later discover a device is the one from MRP. This will work poorly once the service is removed as the device won’t be found anymore, which looks like the situation you have right now.

I think I will do it like this… I will extend pyatv.scan to support scanning for a list of identifiers (instead of just one) and also save all identifiers to the config entry when adding a new device. That way I can scan for all identifiers used by a device. That is much more future proof and will solve this problem in particular. Will get on it as soon as I can, hang tight! 👊

(same applies to you, too, @gloaysa)
