The file system framework extends availability of current object carousel data, delivered via broadcast stream, to devices and services associated with a networked computer system. The networked computer system, which can be a home network that includes diverse networked home appliances, is made capable of hosting object carousel data in a seamless fashion. Devices and appliances mount and unmount the networked broadcast file system, just as they would any other data store on the network. Mechanisms are provided to refresh copies of the object carousel data. The data can include data files, streams and events. These data can be communicated to devices and appliances, upon request or as unicast, multicast or broadcast data streams. Events can be communicated across the network to cause selected actions to be initiated automatically.
