Comment (by test400):

 I confirm behavior for linked video (​http://gensho.acc.umu.se/pub/debian-
 meetings/2016/mini-debconf-vienna/webm/Debian_Installer_for_Novena.webm)

 and all other webm i request directly, also for mp4 files.

 Video plays for 5 seconds, then stops.
 Although sometimes Shorter, only 2 seconds play (even if video is longer)

 Behavior for Embedded video (webm and mp4) is correct though (blocked by
 default, confirm enables).

 With noscript set to "temporarily allow all this page", behavior is same
 for first direct request.
 After requesting video directly a second time, video plays full without
 confirm need.
 This is also not wanted behavior.
