Sounds like what happens to me when opening the page. Did you try to click on 'Video' tab or on the 'Play' button? It started the video for me.

No amount of clicking on any element helps.

Trying to play http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ccc/congress/2015/h264-hd-... directly in the browser works.

Maybe they should just load that in an iframe or something.

In the developer tools console there is a mixed content warning:

  Mixed Content: The page at 'https://media.ccc.de/v/32c3-7435-replication_prohibited#video' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure video 'http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/ccc/congress/2015/h264-hd-web/32c3-7435-en-Replication_Prohibited.mp4'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
FWIW Firefox plays it just fine

The CCC built a distributed CDN, so nope, that wouldn't help: my video is loading from netcologne.de, for instance (in a 'video' element, which is appreciate, from my point of view).
