For Kodi and most of your other multimedia needs, you'll want to visit
rpmfusion.org and add their -free and -non-free repositories.

I'm no expert on the packaging systems, but the gist is along these lines:
Software (aka Gnome Software) is the default GUI tool for managing
software. dnf is Fedora's default package management tool, replacing the
older yum. Both dnf and yum are analogous to apt on debian systems, while
"Yum Extender" looks like would be analogous to Synaptic on a debian or
ubuntu system. I've never used them, but the "plain version" would appear
to be a gui frontend for the older yum, while Yum Extender-DNF is a
frontend for the new dnf.

For future reference, this particular list (fedora-desktop) is primarily
focused on development discussion. The users list (
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users) is where you'd want
to go for general fedora questions/discussion/support.
