I read that the issue was a Oxygen Tank Outlet Temperature sensor that was showing readings outside of the allowed range. There is redundancy in those sensors, as in there is more than one, but just to be safe the decision was made to hold the launch and try to replace the sensor in less than a day.
I do not know if that means the F9 has to be stood down and taken back to the HIF or not. It seems to me that 24 hours would not be enough time to do that. So I'm guessing the sensor replacement can be attempted with the rocket on the pad.

Oddly, it seems the second time around the webcast is not appearing on YouTube. The webcast can be seen through the SpaceX website here:

It may show up where I can embed it but we're only four hours away and it hasn't shown up yet...
Good luck SpaceX.

Liftoff successful. MECO successful. Amazing views. Really amazing views. Perfect landing!
OMG! Can you believe that amazing deceleration?!! 1000-0km/h in a few seconds!!
Good Job!!

Wow! That was cool, and the footage of the landing phase was super crisp except for some small clouds here and there. Bulls-eye!
Yes! What a way to start a new day! I don't remember them mentioning the speed when final landing burn begins before. That is incredible V delta in only 30 seconds!

You can just go back in the live stream if you still have it up or click the video again on this page.
The live videos made those drawings of how the landing attempts are done much easier to follow. Fantastic coverage of first stage!

This was, by far, the best video of the first stage. Some of those shots were just incredible. Watching the nitrogen jets firing off to adjust course was amazing. There wasn't a single moment where we didn't see what was happening with the booster. The landing video was great but I'll bet we'll see some really epic landing videos showing up for this one.
