I'm trying to install a specific version of vlc (2.2.x)

I've added the PPA repository according to this question: How to update VLC to the latest version?. I've remembered to issue the command sudo apt-get update

However, I still only get the 1.6 version from the general trusty repository. Even though in the html page of the repository the version is there: https://launchpad.net/~videolan/+archive/ubuntu/stable-daily

Not my regular package manager, synaptic, or good-old CLI apt-get sees the version from the PPA I've added.

What am I missing?

EDIT: using Mint 17.1 (Based on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty)

Output of apt-cache policy vlc

Open terminal and run: (for 14.04)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-*

There is currently no version >2.1 for Trusty in the PPA ppa:videolan/stable-daily
available and you have added this PPA to your system.

You can install VLC with the version 2.1.6-0ubuntu14.04.1 via

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc

available in the Ubuntu Universe repositories. Or use @Ravans answer and enable another PPA.
