I got the same problem. Posting here how I worked around it:

My network is pretty slow so I got this:

Sep 14 14:56:51 raspberrypi homebridge[1239]: [2018-9-14 14:56:51] [Apple TV Salon] Error: Failed to locate specified AppleTV on the network
Sep 14 14:56:51 raspberrypi homebridge[1239]:     at Timeout.setTimeout (/opt/node/lib/node_modules/homebridge-theater-mode/node_modules/node-appletv/dist/lib/browser.js:48:28)
Sep 14 14:56:51 raspberrypi homebridge[1239]:     at ontimeout (timers.js:466:11)
Sep 14 14:56:51 raspberrypi homebridge[1239]:     at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:304:5)
Sep 14 14:56:51 raspberrypi homebridge[1239]:     at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:267:5)

So I edited the file /opt/node/lib/node_modules/homebridge-theater-mode/node_modules/node-appletv/dist/lib/browser.js to increase timeout from 5 seconds to 30 seconds
