Sonarr renaming Web as WebDL

Sonarr version 3.0.9.1549
OS: MS server 2019

Description of issue:
Sonarr doesn’t distinguish difference between Web and WebDL release.
Although sometimes pure Web release is WebDL, most of the times its WebRip.
Here is an example:
The.Sandman.S01E10.1080p.WEB.H264-PECULATE
The.Sandman.S01E10.Lost.Hearts.1080p.NF.WEBRip.DDP5.1.x265-iMAGiNE
The.Sandman.S01E10.Lost.Hearts.1080p.NF.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.H.264-SMURF
If Sonarr downloads PECULATE release it will rename it as WebDL.
Can you fix this, or at least link pure Web releases with WebRip instead of WebDL.
I manage to control what I download through Release Profiles,
but I don’t have an option to chose in renaming that file.
Thanks in advance.

Actually, as I understand it, per current scene rules, Sonarr is handling it correctly.
Per the current rules anything tagged WEB should be untouched and lossless.
WEBDL is deprecated and no longer used for scene releases.
Anything that has been transcoded from original has to be tagged WEBRip

In the example you have provided, PECULATE is the accepted scene release copy, so the release is not a WEBRip, and identifying or labelling it as such would be incorrect.

Scene rules is that Web = WebDL

True, cant argue with that.
