If the video complies to broadcasting standards like ITU-R BT.601/709, then it should have a limited luminance and chrominance range in YUV color space. Full range video should only exist if it was generated artifically (e.g. by a 3D renderer or heavy filtering).

My remark is rather directed to the meaning of the parameter name, though. A boolean answer is valid for a question like "Does this video have *full* range? Yes/No". But asking "Does this video have (any) *range*?" doesn't make sense; you would rather ask "Which range does this video have? TV/PC".

Video cannot have "either any range or no range". Therefore at least the name "--[no-]range" is wrong. A name like "--[no-]full-range" would at least make some sense, but possibly looks a bit complicated.

Understood. I can setup the tv or pc option. If I add the auto option now it won't be functional yet.

by the way, there are other options where bt709 is possible, can that be used to determine range?
