those are the images for recently added videos. So if you set up a source and let the scraper do its job, those images will be back showing the 5 recently added movies to your database.
If they don't come up, after you set up a source and let the scraper scrape, please check if the option to show "recently added videos" is enabled in your skin settings:
system settings->appearance->skin->settings->Home Window->"show recently added videos"
Hope it helps you
Cheers

Thank you for that - and related to this, I have tried to set up a source by going to System>File Manager>Add source, but all that happens is that the "Add source" text turns orange when clicked. Nothing else happens.
I've tried reinstalling Kodi from the Google App Store, but nothing changes.
I guess that I'll go through a few of the online Kodi set up tutorials and see if that helps. though I would have thought that the "Add source" would work out of the box
Cheers

In Kodi, I have tried to add a source by going to System/File Manager'Add source, but all that happens is that the "Add source" text turns orange when clicked. Nothing else happens.
I've tried reinstalling Kodi Isengard from the Google App Store, but nothing changes.
I've reset the Android M8 box I am using with Android 4.4.2, then reinstalled Isengard, still not able to "Add source" in System/File Manager.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Adding a source in the file manager won't populate your video library. See
adding videos to the library (wiki). While we're at it, see also
free content (wiki) and
forum rules (wiki). We can't help you with bootleg/pirate video add-ons.
Still, the behavior of mice in the file manager seems odd. (Note that Kodi is normally used with a remote and not a mouse.) Clicking on something is acting as "highlight" rather than "select". Doubleclicking seems to work, though.
