You need to sort 'vlc' as the preferred application for opening '.m3u8' files. Right click on the '.m3u8' file in file manager -> Properties -> click 'Edit file type' icon -> move VLC to the first position in the 'Application preference order'. Now, VLC will open any '.m3u8' file on double click.

Well, did you try this way?
Step 1: Open VLC media player and select “Open Network Stream” under Media table.
Step 2: Paste M3U8 video URL into the network URL box, and then select “Convert” in the lower right.
Step 3: A new window will pop up after clicking Convert. Select MP4 as output video format and then set the output folder path.
Step 4: After all settings are done, you can click “Start” to convert M3U8 file to MP4. The output MP4 video will be found in the destination file.
