You can simple use 0:
ffmpeg -live_start_index 0 -i 'https://….m3u8' -c copy something.ts

How to start capturing at a specific segment, lets say at 480 when the m3u8 playlist have 500 segments?

I try using the following command it starts from the start and never at 480:
ffmpeg -allowed_extensions ALL -protocol_whitelist file,http,https,tcp,tls,crypto -i hls_1M_.m3u8 -live_start_index 480 -c copy output.ts

Thanks.
