special char in filename gives filesize error in big file
I encounter an error when a file is big AND ALSO its filename has some special character : its filesize can not be determined by getID3. I conclude this after precise testing with several (video) files and filenames.
Eg. a video file named "Côte d’Ivoire.mp4" gives the following error : Notice: Undefined index: filesize in /var/www/projects/chess/show.php on line [..]
So, when the filename is "Côte d’Ivoire.mp4" and its filesize is small (eg. 20 Mb) the filesize CAN be determined, there's no error. When the filename is normal, like "Cote d'Ivoire.mp4", and its filesize is big (i tested with more than 3 Gb) the filesize ALSO CAN be determined, there's no error.

I'm an experienced (web)programmer. I use the latest getID3 release v1.9.18-201907240906.
Solution: upgrade your PHP installation to 64-bit.
Assuming you're unable to do that, the fallback filesize-determining function is likely failing due to UTF-8 encoding issues. Perhaps you can do some debugging on the system call line and figure out how it's being called incorrectly: https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/getID3/blob/master/getid3/getid3.lib.php#L1736
