not sure if still relevant but I've encountered the same issue, and managed to fix it by adding an extra backslash, in your case would work with this path: "C:\\Users\\sukesh\\Desktop".

[coder-gamerz]

you can also add 'r' right before the path string

Yes, I have modified this old script, and it works Perfectly. As for why the old code was not working, the error you encountered, IndexError: list index out of range, was because you were trying to access argv[1] to get the YouTube URL from the command-line arguments

is this issue still open ?

I solved this problem by putting (0) instead of (1) and also inverting the slash and it worked
