// DESCRIPTION:
//
// This plug-in is only available on Linux.
//
// Registers the new midi input device "jlcVcrDevice".
//
// Loading this plug-in will register the JL-Cooper midi VCR input device
// with Maya as type "jlcVcrDevice".
//
// To use the device, execute the MEL script "jlcVcrDevice.mel".
// This will attach the buttons on the midi device to the animation playback
// commands in Maya as follows:
//
// - The play button will start animation playback.
// - The stop button will stop animation playback.
// - The rewind button sets the current time to the start time in the range control.
// - The forward button sets the current time to the end time in the range control.
// - The rec button executes the setKeyframe command.
// - The scrub wheel moves the time forward and backward.
//
// To get a list of all input devices currently registered in Maya, use
// the "listInputDevices" command.
//
