It seems that the filenames are ISO encoded as if I set the meta tag

The filename is being read from the file via scandir(). File created
on Windows, transferred to *nix.

This is a good idea, but I'm stubborn and believe it can be solved

Windows server. This is over my head, too. I'm guessing that Windows
and Linux encode filenames different
