Hi. I have an rpi with rasplex connected to a computer monitor in my bedroom. Isn’t it somehow possible to make the monitor go to sleep but keep the rpi running?
I've found out that it's at least possible to turn off HDMI output with
$ tvservice -o
and turning it on again with
$ tvservice -p
but I don't see the UI then.
Is this feature on the roadmap?
Computer needs to be on at all times. I found this out recently as when I left my computer it automatically went into sleep mode and I as unable to view anything on Plex.

You're clearly talking about the computer running the PMS server, which must of course be 'on' to deliver any content to clients.
But I think the original poster dagurp just wants to keep the RPi running even when his computer monitor (connected to the RPi, not to a normal computer) goes into sleep/standby mode, so as to avoid the full bootup sequence of RasPlex each time he turns the monitor on.
This should be possible simply by disabling all interface interaction through the HDMI interface (aka: CEC interactions). It's the same way with most modern TV sets too. These can be configured to turn other equipment on/off through HDMI, or vice versa. But personally I dislike this kind of interaction and prefer to control each unit individually. So I always disable such features at both ends, here meaning both at the TV set and in the RasPlex 'Preferences' menu, or in the case of dagurp both in that RasPlex menu and in whatever settings menu his computer monitor has.

To be clear, all I want is to be able to put the monitor into standby so I don’t have to stand up to turn it off (or leave it on through the night)
