OK think I posted something (possibly useless) from Wireshark at 
https://pastebin.com/SfczTdK8.

As for the dumpcap permission, found this:


          Setting network privileges for dumpcap if your kernel and file
          system don't support file capabilities

    In this case, you will need to make dumpcap set-UID to root.

    1. chown root /usr/sbin/dumpcap (NOTE: Replace /usr/sbin with
    /usr/bin in this command and the next command in case you receive an
    error that indicates that dumpcap isn't in /usr/sbin)

    2. chmod u+s /usr/bin/dumpcap


Wanted sudo - but didn't fix the problem.

Did find running sudo wireshark shows the various interfaces.  Yea! Of 
course then the problem is I have to run mythfilldatabase from a 
different Terminal and that doesn't seem to work.

Stay tuned! :)
