streamlink

streamlink "m3u8 link here" best -o output.mp4

can you tell me streamlink command which can grab live stream in mp4 without any issue?

You probably need the fast start option:

ffmpeg -i "m3u8 link here" -c copy -movflags faststart output.mp4

mp4 usually has all the information about the video (frame size, frame rate, etc.) at the end of the file. It is written after all the audio and video have been written to the file. If you are terminating a live stream that information may not be appended. Using "-movflags faststart" forces that data to be near the start of the file, before the audio and video streams themselves are added.

downloading fine but suppose if a file size is 100mb when i split that video in 2 or 3 parts , 3 parts size become 100mb to 90 MB why?

You mean the mp4 file is smaller than the ts file? That's normal, mp4 has much less overhead than ts.
