Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Opening the link in Chrome 49+ will only result in the video being partially buffered. Play and Pause events are invoked via JS.
2. Display the controls and select play and then pause. The video will actually be buffered completely (different behaviour vs. invoking via JS).    

What is the expected behavior?
The video should be buffered to 100%.

What went wrong?
In Chrome 48 and earlier, it was possible to force a video to be completely buffered by calling play and pause events in succession via JS. Since 49 this is no longer possible to achieve programmatically. Furthermore, when performing the same actions directly on a video element in the browser (ie. selecting play then pause) the video will infact be buffered completely (the expected behaviour).

Did this work before? Yes Chrome 48 and earlier.

Is it a problem with Flash or HTML5? HTML5

Does this work in other browsers? Yes
