For these CCC videos, please link to media.ccc.de. They built a media distribution platform for us that gives higher quality, allows downloads, and uses no tracking. Why not use it?
I'm in Stralsund and it straight-up won't play the video in Chrome. Just keeps spinning. Downloading from youtube works as well, even though you have to resort to youtube-dl, and i like having youtube track what i've seen so i can refer to that later in case i forget having seen something. Plus, the CCC org is not any more trustable than youtube.
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).
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.

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.
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.
