Anyone know what the issue is please? once my iMac sleeps then on the appleTV plexconnect (via trailers), itunes, netflix etc. stops working... if I wake the iMac then it works again
The issue is your iMac is asleep. Use fing to wake it up over the lan or set your mac to not sleep in system pref. What you are experiencing is normal osx behavior.
Fing is for non atv ios devices:

thanks, but if the DNS on the appleTV is set to auto (so plex connect no longer works) why does itunes, netflix, itunes festival all work on the appleTV when iMac is sleeping. Does fixing the DNS (for plex connect) mean that these get affected when the imac goes to sleep?
Because you set your dns to auto on the atv. Yes.
I agree with wahlman but try checking these in sleep settings:
Wake for network access
If it doesn't help keep it on and try uncheking Put hard drive to sleep when possible. If it both doesn't help i would suggest you'll turn sleep of as he said :)
I have a late 2012 model iMac and regardless of power setting its internal drive likes to sleep. I've been using the Caffeine app and seems to have helped.
