The file in question looks like this:

https://example.com/somenumbers/somenumbers/somename.ts.m3u8

The file in question isn't a live stream. It's a recording.

I've tried using the ffmpeg library using various commands but the resulting file was either not downloaded at all due to "corrupted" error, or was downloaded but was heavily corrupted.

You can use FFmpeg for this.

For example:

$ ffmpeg -user_agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_5) AppleWebKit/601.7.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.1.3 Safari/537.86.7" -i http://185.38.12.60/sec/1503173737/363333397f6b65370bfc740ca4dea8c3f8dd2a93419f7748/ivs/12/b1/2ec5e15ba2a6/hls/tracks-4,5/index.m3u8 -c copy pd.mkv

User Agent is important key for many online cinema.

    Provided the playlist have different video qualities, which quality of the video is copied in the .mkv file using a command like this? There is a way with ffmpeg to choose the resolution of the stream? – user74513 Oct 24 '18 at 14:42
