It's probably file permissions. The only user that you can upload files to is "admin", but the vc4 softwqare runs as user "virtualcontrol" So any files you put into /opt/crestron/virtualcontrol/Runningprograms/<YourRoomIDHere>/Nvram need to change ownership via "sudo chown virtualcontroluser:virtualcontroluser <file name>:
I have had to do that so often I made up a little shell script to do that all for me. See below.
Shell script. copies files from a folder under admin to both Nnram folder and to the Nvram/ProgID folder.
