OpenMeta Errors with multiple widgets

[Osama-Alhumaimidi]

Overview
OpenMeta has a problem linking multiple widgets to its directories, since all widgets are trying to populate the linked directories at the same time, a conflict happens where only one widget locks the "trakt" cache to itself so other widgets will be unable to populate the directory they're linked to and crash, and the kodi log always gives this error
"WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process:
" 'C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Kodi\userdata\addon_data\plugin.video.openmeta\.storage\Trakt.TOUA9A.tmp'
"

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. link multiple skin widgets to different trakt directories (I havent checked TMDB directories, but I dont use them since they dont pull MPAA certifications unlike trakt lists, which is another bug)
2. Start kodi (or refresh skin after clearing the OpenMeta cache)
3. Multiple OpenMeta errors will pop up

Expected behavior
All widgets should be populated correctly the first time, since other meta addons can achieve that (but only OpenMeta fetches all the correct metadata and artwork, hence why I use it)

Screenshots
I cant add Screenshots of the issue

Unfortunately, since there isn't a developer maintaining this project anymore, it may be worth finding a different add-on for your purposes. I find that TheMovieDb Helper by @jurialmunkey does a very good job of replicating OpenMeta and OpenInfo's functionality 👍
