Yes, I agree that for an RPi running RasPlex it makes good sense to let it run 24/7. That's what I do myself too (with two of them).
As for RasPlex being turned off with the TV set, that can happen for two different reasons:
One is if you've powered the RPi from a USB port of the TV set, which is inadvisable for several reasons.
Apart from the inability to run 24/7 there's also the uncertain power rating of the port, and the inevitable SD card corruption that will occur after a number of power turnoffs without proper RasPlex shutdown. (It's pretty much like turning off a computer by pulling the power cord. Any disk it's writing to at the time will be corrupted to some extent.)
The other reason for turn-off with the TV set is due to the CEC configuration.
On the RPi you will find that in the submenu for the CEC adapter found in "Preferences" > "System" > "Input devices" > "Peripherals".
There you will find a list entry named "CEC Adapter" which you should select and enter to reach the correct submenu with all CEC preferences.
Turning some of those CEC features off should fix your problem (assuming it's due to CEC protocol commands).
But if that also fails you need to check for CEC settings on your TV set too (possibly under another protocol name).
And as a final resort there are some RPi "config.txt" directives that can also disable CEC functionality (but we can return to that later).

Tnx for your explantion.
I think the problem is that i power my rasp using tv USB and i think when i put my tv in stand-by USB has got no power.
Do you think is there any option to leave tv usb active also in stand by?
i have i led samsung tv.
Tnx

I really don't know if the TV set can be configured that way.
If it can be done, then you should be able to find it in one of the configuration menus of the TV.
But personally I doubt that it will allow having ports powered in standby mode.
(I do have a Samsung TV set myself, and it has no such configuration for its USB port. But other models may differ.)
If you continue using the TV's USB port with it being turned off in standby mode you must be prepared for SD card corruption, sooner or later...
My advice is that you should get a normal 5Volt Android phone/tablet charger with USB connector, and use this to provide constant power to your RPi.
For RPi1 models used without WiFi/KB dongles 1 Ampere should be sufficient, though they may need up to 1.5 Amperes with dongle(s).
For RPi2 models used without dongles 2 Ampere should be sufficient, though they may need some more with dongle(s).

For now i removed usb cable from tv.
I will put a power cable directly to rasp so it will be always on.
Tnx
