Why would you edit your original question and replace it with "resolved"? People are here (myself included) trying to learn from other people's problems. Knowing the answer to a question isn't very helpful if you don't know the question. Please don't do that again.

If adi111 resolved the problem, he did so on his own. No solution was posted to the thread, so you really didn't miss anything.

So, what LZAA wrote wasn't the answer? The OP thanked him for it.

Thanks for the suggestion for the Bing archive but I like my Questions and Answers together on their original forum. I'm funny that way.

Yeah, I hate it when posters delete the text of their posts too. The point of having a public board like this to help other people as well as the OP. Just for the record (and thanks to ponens' bing link):

i want to download a portion of video from m3u8 link that has separate video and audio .ts

from this link

https://cdn-test.mncnow.id/live/eds/RTV/sa_hls/RTV.m3u8?begin=1595871000&end=1595872800

when i use youtube-dl -g to see the link i get 2 .ts link avc1 and mp4a.

usually i use ffmpeg -ss -i -t -c copy to download a portion video from generated m3u8 link on youtube-dl.

but it didnot work with link above when video and audio are separate.

I tried LZAA's command but it only downloaded the video, no audio.

Unless someone does what you did, Bing cached pages get overwritten by a newer version of the page after a few days (same for Google). Only Archive.org (as far as I know) keeps older versions of a same page, but it won't save every single forum thread.

I tried LZAA's command but it only downloaded the video, no audio.

I just tried and it doesn't work at all. It would seem like this particular timecode interval is no longer available, and perhaps only the video stream was available two days ago.
(1595871000 is a Unix timestamp which corresponds to 2020/07/27 17:30 PM)

Now with :

streamlink "https://cdn-test.mncnow.id/live/eds/RTV/sa_hls/RTV.m3u8?begin=1596562200&end=1596564000" best -o video.ts

(begin = 2020/08/04 17:30, end = 2020/08/04 18:00)
It works and the output has video + audio.

Works with youtube-dl as well :

=> downloads as MP4 using ffmpeg

(As a side note, the aspect ratio seems to be consistently messed up on this channel, it's all 4:3 content but broadcast as 16:9.)
