ERROR: Use of -r/--rules-file and -g/--rules-generate only allowed in attack mode 0.

Within this video hashcat-legacy (https://github.com/hashcat/hashcat-legacy) is being used and not the new hashcat.

Yeah, 2 of the differences we notice here between hashcat-legacy and hashcat is that with hashcat-legacy you need (and can) only specify 1 single dictionary for combinator attack (while -a 1 in hashcat works with 2 dicts e.g. -a 1 left.txt right.txt) ... and that with hashcat-legacy you could also apply rules within -a 1 attack.

Unfortunately it is not very clear from the video that hashcat-legacy is being used (except if you know how the output looks like, then you will see the differences immediately). You can't use hashcat-legacy (CPU only) exactly as you would use the new hashcat (every OpenCL device is supported), you can't compare them 1:1 and you should better read the wiki/faq/forum posts to learn how to use it.
