Cannot save config while optional dependency is not fullfilled #694

Describe the bug

Building V.1.9.6 from source according to install instructions. While running npm start I got the message:

[WARN_][ConfigDiagnostics] Video support error, switching off.. Error: Error accessing ffmpeg-probe, cant find executable: Error: spawn /var/www/pigallery2-master/node_modules/ffprobe-static/bin/linux/arm/ffprobe ENOENT

As I didn't needed Video Support at this time I started the configuration via WebApp. During this I found that I cannot save any
settings (e.g. photo directory, users, ...). Every time I tried to save it, I got the error above.

Root-Cause:
I figured out that the arm-folder was not present, I had to download and install the coresponding binary by myself.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: armbian armhfv7
  • Browser Vivaldi

Used app version:

  • compiled from source 1.9.6

Expected behavior:
As it is only an optional depedency I expected it to work without issues (except the noticed Video support).
