I did a search did not find what I wanted to do so here is a guide I'm testing.

Installed Ubuntu 18.04
Installed Kodi from ppa
Installed Nextcloud from snap

Grant Root Privileges to user kodi
sudo usermod -aG sudo kodi

Add kodi to root group
sudo usermod -G root kodi

Verify New User
su - kodi
grep '^sudo' /etc/group
Result should be.
sudo:x:27:kodi

Allow access to nextcloud folder currently is 750 owned by root.
sudo chmod 770 /var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud

Then add various media sources from the nextcloud accounts eg
/var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data/smokingwheels/files/Music Video
/var/snap/nextcloud/common/nextcloud/data/honeybee/files/Music Video

Just started testing maybe I missed something but I hope not.

Ive added to the setup.
I have Movies with 5.1 sound tracks only and when you play in web player there is no sound.
I tried Thinlinc server (Remote Linux Desktop) on my Ubuntu setup as a result now I have stereo sound when I play a Movie in Kodi within the client session.

Note: Remote Desktop you cant have 2 user logins at the same time in one system.

Thinlinc will allow up to 10 users free.
